Our results show that, for maximum applied fields of up to 8 kOe, the measured loops show a shift of up to 85 Oe. The compositional dependence of that loop displacement presents two maxima (at approximately x=0.3 and =0.7) and a minimum at =0.5. These results are discussed in terms of the dipolar coupling between both phases. %~
