Spin-reorientation phenomena in (Tb{sub {ital x}}Er{sub 1{minus}{ital x}})TiFe{sub 11} systems have been studied over the temperature range from 20 to 1000 K using susceptibility measurement. In this alloy series, the lattice constants, both {ital a} and {ital c}, increase with increasing {ital x}, as expected from the lanthanide contraction. For {ital x}{lt}0.5, the (Tb{sub {ital x}}Er{sub 1{minus}{ital x}})TiFe{sub 11} systems were found to exhibit axial-to-conical spin-reorientation transitions with a {ital T}{sub {ital sr}} decrease with increasing {ital x}. However, for {ital x}{gt}0.5, the spin-reorientation transitions have been found to be axial-to-planar, on cooling, and the {ital T}{sub {ital sr}} increases with increasing {ital x}. The magnetic phase diagram of (Tb{sub {ital x}}Er{sub 1{minus}{ital x}})TiFe{sub 11} has been constructed.
