Abstract:

The Tm2Fe19-xMnx (x = 0 - 1.5) and Tm2Fe16, Tm2Fe17, Tm2Fe18, Tm2Fe19 intermetallic compounds were synthesized and their magnetic and structural properties were studied. Magnetic measurements, X-ray and neutron diffraction investigations were used. The compounds crystallize in a disordered variant of the hexagonal Th2Ni17-type structure. The lattice parameters a, c increases in the Tm2Fe19-xMnx system, whereas c decreases and a increases in the Tm2Fe19 - Tm2Fe16 system as Fe content decreases. The temperatures of ferromagnetic ordering and spin-reorientation increase as Fe content decreases in these systems. Apparently, the decrease of occupation of defected dumbbell Fe (4e) site causes these regularities.
