The structural and magnetic properties of Tm2Fe17 and Tm2Fe17D3.2 are investigated by means of x-ray-diffraction, thermal, and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements, and iron-57 Mössbauer spectroscopy. Both compounds crystallize in a hexagonal P63/mmc space group with a Th2Ni17-like structure. Deuterium insertion into Tm2Fe17 induces large increases in the unit-cell volume, the saturation magnetization, and the ordering temperature. The unit-cell expansion is anisotropic, with a larger increase in the a lattice parameter than the c lattice parameter. A spin reorientation is observed at 90 K …

Results of full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital generalized gradient approximation calculations of the band structure and boron electric field gradients (EFG's) for the new medium-Tc superconductor MgB2 and related diborides MB2, M = Be, Al, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mo, and Ta are reported. The boron EFG variations are found to be related to specific features of their band structure and particularly to the M-B hybridization. The strong charge anisotropy at the B site in MgB2 is completely defined by the valence electrons - a property which sets MgB2 apart from other diborides. The boron …
