The magnetic and crystallographic properties of induction-melted NdMn(6-x)FexGe6 intermetallics (x = 0, 1.0, and 1.5) in the temperature range of 30-475 K have been studied by x-ray and neutron diffraction techniques and SQUID measurements. All of the samples crystallized in the YCo6Ge6-type structure (P6/mmm). A small amount ( < 5 mol%) of Nd(MnFe)2Ge2 is present as an impurity. As expected, iron replaces manganese at the 3g site. The unit cell volume decreases slightly with increasing iron content at an average rate of 1.3% per substituted atom. Lattice parameters a and c contract at …

The crystallographic and magnetic properties of SmyGd2-yFe17-xSix (0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and y = 1 and 1.5) solid solutions and their interstitial carbides have been investigated using x-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. The SmyGd2-yFe17-xSix samples crystallized in the rhombohedral Th2Zn17 structure with less than 5 mol % of impurities. The unit cells of the mixed rare-earth (R) samples are smaller than those of Sm2Fe17 and Gd2Fe17. The carbided samples contain up to a total of …
