Magnetic properties of R(1) 1-x R(2)x Al2 alloys

Abstract

The Curie temperature and magnetic moment in the paramagnetic state of R(1)1-xGdx(2)Αl2 samples (R = La, Lu, Y) as functions of the concentration x (x E [0, 1]) lave been measured in [1, 2] and more recently (R = Zr) in [3]. A linear dependence of the Curie temperature TC and of the magnetic moment M versus x has been found with ΤC changing from zero (x = 0) to TC-= 170K (x = 1) and M changing from zero (x = 0) to M = 7.94 μ (x = 1), in such a way that M(x)/x = 7.94 μβ (x E [0, 1]).
