Six samples of Ce2Fe17-xGax with nominal Ga content x equal to 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 2.0 have been studied by powder neutron diffraction at room temperature. Both crystalline and magnetic refinements have been carried out. All six samples adopt the Th2Zn17-type rhombohedral structure. The only additional phase found is α-iron. Gallium atoms are found to have high affinity for the iron 18h site, and are absent from the 9d and 18f sites. The Ga substitution for Fe leads to an expansion of both the a and c axes. The Curie …

RFe12-xTxCy, (R=Y,Er; T=V,Ti,Mo) alloys were prepared by rf induction melting and analyzed using neutron powder diffraction and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurements. Rietveld analysis of the neutron diffraction data indicates that V, Ti, and Mo atoms all prefer the 8i sites. The refined amount of carbon atoms found in the interstitial sites from neutron diffraction data is significantly less than the nominal carbon content. All samples have the easy direction along the c axis. The Er sublattice couples to the Fe sublattice antiferromagnetically. The average Fe site moments range from 1.3 to 2.8 …

Several NdnFem-x-yVxAly [(n,m)=(1,12), (2,17), (3,29)] samples were prepared and analyzed using neutron powder diffraction. Rietveld analysis of the neutron diffraction data indicates that the V and Al substituents take those sites with similar environments in all three phases, as observed in our previous study of Ti-substituted compounds. It was confirmed that the diffraction data of the 3:29 compound can be better refined using the A2/m space group than using the P21/c space group. The SQUID measurements show that all samples have Curie temperatures well above room temperature. The neutron diffraction results …

In order to understand the magnetic properties of the substituted rare-earth-iron alloys, it is especially important to know the location of the substitutional atoms within the iron lattice. The site distributions of some nontransition-metal substituents in the substituted Nd2Fe17-xTx alloys have previously been reported. Here we report the site distributions of some transition-metal substituents (Cu,Zr,Nb,Ti,V) in the Nd2Fe17-xTx alloys and compare them with those of the nontransition-metal substituted compounds. Rietveld analysis of neutron powder diffraction data indicates that the nontransition-metal substituents show very similar site affinity at low substituent content. …

Three samples of , with x equal to 0.0, 0.3, and 2.8, with the Th2Zn17-type rhombohedral structure, have been studied by powder x-ray and neutron diffraction, magnetic measurements, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Nd2Fe16Ti and Nd2Fe16TiC0.3 were synthesized by induction melting stoichiometric amounts of the constituent elements, whereas Nd2Fe16TiC2.8 was synthesized by methane-derived gas phase insertion of carbon into finely ground Nd2Fe16Ti at 600 K. The neutron diffraction determined titanium site occupancies are similar in both Nd2Fe16 …

The magnetic properties of a series of Ce2Fe17-xAlx solid solutions with x equal to 0.00, 0.88, 2.06, 2.81, 3.98, 5.15, 6.08, 7.21, 8.20, 9.08, 9.84, and 10.62 have been studied by magnetic measurements, neutron diffraction, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The compounds crystallize in the rhombohedral Th2Zn17-type structure. Magnetization studies indicate that the Curie temperature increases uniformly from 238 K for Ce2Fe17 to 384 K for Ce2Fe14Al3 and then decreases at higher aluminum content. Powder neutron diffraction results, obtained at 295 K, indicate that aluminum …
