The Mössbauer spectra of Ho2Fe17 and Ho2Fe17D3.8 have been measured between 4.2 and 295 K and analyzed with a model which takes into account both the disordered nonstoichiometric hexagonal Th2Ni17-like structure and the basal orientation of the iron magnetic moments. The isomer shifts of the five crystallographically inequivalent iron sites in both Ho2Fe17 and Ho2Fe17D3.8 follow the sequence of Wigner-Seitz cell volumes and their temperature dependence follows the typical second-order Doppler shift. An increase in the weighted average isomer shift …

Magnetic And Mössbauer Spectral Evidence For The Suppression Of The Magnetic Spin Reorientation In Tm₂Fe₁₇ By Deuterium, Fernande Grandjean, Olivier Isnard, Gary J. Long

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

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 …
