MAGNETIZATION OF COMPOUNDS OF RARE EARTHS WITH PLATINUM METALS

Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D
Measurements were made of the Curie points and magnetic moments of three series of compounds (Laves phases) MIr/sub 2/, MOs/sub 2/, and MRu/sub 2/, where M is a rare-earth element. The Curie point is highest (85 deg K) for the compounds containing Gd and falls away when the rare earths have larger or smaller atomic numbers. This dependence of Curie point on the rare-earth element is in accord with the idea that the principal exchange interaction is between the spins of the 4f shell of the rare-earth ions and the conduction electrons. The magnetic moments are closely related to, but differ somewhat from, the values of Jg for the trivalent ions of M. (auth)
