Chapter 83 Magnetic properties of ternary intermetallic compounds of the RT2X2 type

Magnetic properties of ternary RMn2Si2 and RMn2Ge2 compounds

Neutron diffraction studies of LaMn2Ge2 and LaMn2Si2 compounds: evidence of dominant antiferromagnetic components within the Mn planes

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses rare earth compounds. The number of stable binary intermetallic compounds in which one of the components is a rare earth element is of the order of a thousand. Combination with elements of much smaller metallic radii then encompasses a much larger number of possible atomic arrangements of sufficiently high space filling than would be the case for two components of almost equal size. A meaningful study of the physical properties of intermetallic compounds can only be made on single phase materials. Only a fraction of the compounds is in single phase condition after the melting together of the components. The chapter explains the compounds with non-magnetic elements and compounds with d-transition metals. It also explains ternary compounds or hydrides.

Crystals and magnetic structure of RMn2Si2 (R = Pr, Nd, Y) and YMn2Ge2

The crystal and magnetic structure of CeMn2Si2

An attempt is made to find a correlation between the electronic structure of the transition metal ion T in ThT2Si2 (T ≡ Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) compounds and the bond lengths deduced from crystallographic parameters determined by X-ray and neutron diffraction.
