The Mo2FeB2 type magnesium intermetallics RE2Cu2Mg (RE = Y, La, Pr, Nd) were synthesized from the elements by reactions in sealed tantalum tubes in a high-frequency furnace. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements of Y2Cu2Mg and La2Cu2Mg indicate Pauli paramagnetism. Pr2Cu2Mg and Nd2Cu2Mg show Curie-Weiss behaviour with experimental magnetic moments of 3.67(2) μB/Pr and 3.47(2) μB/Nd, respectively. Both compounds are ordered ferromagnetically at Curie temperatures of 12.0(5) (Pr2Cu2Mg) and 43.0(5) K (Nd2Cu2Mg). Pr2Cu2Mg shows a very complex magnetization behavior with an additional magnetic transition around 2.5 T. The neodymium compound shows a pronounced square loop behavior in the magnetization at 4.5 K with a high remanent magnetization of 1.55(1) μB/Nd atom and a coercive field of 0.31(1) T.

AbstractFourteen X-ray-pure intermetallic compounds RE10TCd3 (RE = Ho, Er, Tm, Lu; T = Fe, Co, Ni, Ru) and Y10FeCd3 were obtained through high-frequency melting of the elements in sealed niobium tubes and subsequent annealing in a muffle furnace. They adopt the Er10FeCd3 structure, a ternary ordered version of the Co2Al5 type. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements show Pauli paramagnetism for the lutetium compounds Lu10FeCd3, Lu10CoCd3, and Lu10RuCd3. The RE10TCd3 phases with holmium, erbium, and thulium show Curie–Weiss paramagnetism and the experimental magnetic moments match with the free ion values of RE3+. All these compounds order antiferromagnetically. The highest Néel temperature was observed for the holmium compounds, e.g. 46.5 K for Ho10RuCd3. Some of the RE10TCd3 phases show field-induced spin reorientations. A 57Fe Mössbauer spectrum of Y10FeCd3 confirms the single crystallographic iron site.

AbstractThe quaternary gallium-rich intermetallic phases RE2Pt3Ga4In with RE = Y and Gd-Tm were synthesized by arc-melting of the elements and subsequent annealing. Small single crystals were obtained by high-frequency annealing of the samples in sealed tantalum ampoules. The polycrystalline samples were characterized through their X-ray powder patterns. The RE2Pt3Ga4In phases crystallize with a site ordering variant of the orthorhombic Y2Rh3Sn5 type, space group Cmc 21. The structures of Gd2Pt3Ga4In, Dy2Pt3Ga4.14In0.86, Er2Pt3Ga4.17In0.83 and Tm2Pt3Ga4.21In0.79 were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The single crystals reveal small homogeneity ranges RE2Pt3Ga4±xIn1±x. The striking geometrical structural building units are slightly distorted trigonal prisms around the three crystallographically independent platinum atoms: Pt1@RE4Ga2, Pt2@RE2Ga4 and Pt3@RE2Ga2In2. Based on these prismatic building units, the RE2Pt3Ga4In structures can be described as intergrowth variants of TiNiSi and NdRh2Sn4 related structural slabs. Temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility studies of Gd2Pt3Ga4In and Tb2Pt3Ga4In show Curie-Weiss behavior and the experimental magnetic moments confirm stable trivalent gadolinium respectively terbium. Gd2Pt3Ga4In and Tb2Pt3Ga4In order antiferromagnetically at TN = 15.8(1) and 26.0(1) K. Magnetization curves at 3 K show field-induced spin reorientations.

Abstract The cerium plumbides CeCuPb, CePdPb, CeAgPb, and CeAuPb have been synthesized from the elements in sealed tantalum tubes in a high-frequency furnace followed by annealing. The copper, silver and gold compounds crystallize with the NdPtSb-type structure, space group P63mc: a = 466.1(2), c = 778.1(3) pm for CeCuPb, a = 484.8(2), c = 773.0(3) pm for CeAgPb, and a = 480.24(9), c = 772.9(2) pm for CeAuPb. CePdPb crystallizes with the ZrNiAl-type structure: P6̅2m, a = 775.0(2), c = 413.32(8) pm. The dc susceptibility measurements show trivalent cerium for all four plumbides with experimental magnetic moments of 2.53(2), 2.71(2), 2.63(2), and 2.58(2) μB/Ce atom for CeCuPb, CePdPb, CeAgPb, and CeAuPb, respectively. The compounds CeCuPb, CeAgPb, and CeAuPb, studied by dc susceptibility and specific heat measurements, order antiferromagnetically at N´eel temperatures of 8.2(1), 7.4(1), and 3.7(1) K, respectively.

The intermetallic compounds M5T2Cd (M = Ca, Yb, Eu; T = Cu, Ag, Au) and Yb5Cu2Zn were synthesized by melting the elements in sealed tantalum tubes followed by annealing at 923 K. All phases were characterized on the basis of powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data: Mo5B2Si type, I4/mcm, Z = 4, a = 828.7(1), c = 1528.1(3) pm, wR2 = 0.030, 440 F2 values, 16 variables for Eu5Cu2Cd, a = 788.2(1), c = 1459.3(5) pm, wR2 = 0.053, 378 F2 values, 16 variables for Yb5Cu2Cd, and a = 797.2(1), c = 1438.8(3) pm, wR2 = 0.036, 386 F2 values, 17 variables for Yb5Au2.19Cd0.81, which shows a small degree of Au / Cd mixing. The M5T2Cd structures are intergrowth variants of slightly distorted CuAl2- and U3Si2-related slabs. Striking coordination motifs (exemplary for Eu5Cu2Cd) are square antiprisms of the Eu atoms around Cd, Eu8 square prisms around Eu, and trigonal Eu6 prisms around Cu within the AlB2-related slab. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements showed Pauli paramagnetism for Yb5Cu2Zn, indicating purely divalent ytterbium. Eu5Au2Cd exhibits Curie-Weiss behavior above 100 K with an experimental magnetic moment of 8.14 μB per Eu atom and a Weiss constant of 56 K. Antiferromagnetic ordering of the EuII magnetic moments is evident at 36 K, and a metamagnetic transition is observed at 25 K and 13 kOe.

Magnetic intermetallic compounds based on rare earth elements and 3d transition metals are widely investigated due to the functionality of their physical properties and their variety of possible applications. In this work, we investigated the features of the electronic structure and magnetic properties of ternary intermetallic compounds based on gadolinium GdMn1-xTixSi, in the framework of the DFT + U method. Analysis of the densities of electronic states and magnetic moments of ions in Ti-doped GdMnSi showed a significant change in the magnetic properties depending on the contents of Mn and Ti. Together with the magnetic moment, an increase in the density of electronic states at the Fermi energy was found in almost all GdMn1-xTixSi compositions, which may indicate a significant change in the transport properties of intermetallic compounds. Together with the expected Curie temperatures above 300 K, the revealed changes in the magnetic characteristics and electronic structure make the GdMn1-xTixSi intermetallic system promising for use in microelectronic applications.

A statistical model based on the concept of localized canting, originally proposed by Geller and coworkers, is developed to account for the magnetic properties of substituted ferrimagnets. This model is used to determine the exchange parameter ratios Jdd/Jdd and Jaa/Jad in YIG systems by evaluating the magnetic moments and Curie temperatures of two classes of singly substituted YIG over the entire substitution range. Good agreement with experimental data is obtained with the physically reasonable exchange parameter ratios of [Formula: see text] and Jaa/Jad *~ 0.07. It is also shown that both the Yafet-Kittel and the Nowik models may be regarded as particular limiting cases of the new model.

AbstractFrom a series of pentanuclear, heterobimetallic complexes of the general composition [{Ln(H2O)n}2{Ni(dto)2}3] · xH2O, four complexes (Ln = Gd(III) with n = 4; Ln = Dy(III), Ho(III), or Er(III), with n = 5; x = 9–12; dto = 1,2-dithiooxalate) were studied due to their large magnetic moments (up to 14.65 B.M.). The magnetic properties of these complete series were measured at room temperature and the temperature dependent magnetic properties of the complexes Gd2Ni3, Dy2Ni3, Ho2Ni3, and Er2Ni3 were studied at room temperature down to 1.8 K. Whereas the intramolecular metal-metal distances were rather long (Ni1-Ni2: 11.0–11.5 Å; Ln-Ni: 6.0–6.3 Å), relatively short intermolecular metal-metal distances (Ni1-Ni2′: 3.5 Å; Er-Er′: 6.0 Å) were found in the crystal lattice, giving rise to weak intermolecular metal-metal interactions. These weak spin interactions were also supported by the EPR spectrum of a powdered sample of the diamagnetically undiluted Gd2Ni3 complex.

Results concerning the structural, optical and magnetic properties of x Fe 2 O 3 · (100 - x)[3 Bi 2 O 3 · 2 PbO ] glasses (0 = x = 20 mol%) are reported. The transparence in the infrared range was investigated. The homogeneous absorption cross section was determined from the optical absorption spectra using the density matrix formalism of the McCumber theoretical model. From the temperature dependence of reciprocal magnetic susceptibility, negative paramagnetic Curie temperatures have been found suggesting the antiferromagnetic nature of the magnetic interaction between the iron ions in the studied samples. The iron ions occur both in the (II) and (III) valence state. The Fe 2+/ Fe 3+ ratio was determined from the experimental values of the magnetic moments for all samples. The glass transition temperature with increasing Fe 2 O 3 content was also investigated.

AbstractThis is a pioneering work on the synthesis of molybdenum diselenides intercalated by chromium atoms. Their magnetic properties are studied at various intercalant concentrations, temperatures, and magnetic fields. The temperature dependences of effective magnetic moments and positive paramagnetic Curie temperatures in the paramagnetic region evidence the feasible ferromagnetic interactions between intercalated atoms. The existence of low-temperature ferromagnetic state in Cr_ x МоSe_2 is confirmed by hysteresis phenomena in temperature and field dependences of magnetization and magnetic susceptibility.
