Neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements of Tb2Co17-xGax intermetallics
Neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements of Tb2Co17-xGax intermetallics
The crystallographic and magnetic structures of Tb2Co17−xGax (x = 1, 3, 5 and 7) intermetallics have been investigated by time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction at 293 and 4.2 K. All four compounds crystallize in the rhombohedral Th2Zn17 structure (R 3¯ m) with Co atoms fully occupying the 9d site whilst Co and Ga atoms are found to distribute themselves in a non-random manner on the remaining 6c, 18f and 18h sites. These observed site occupations can be correlated with the sign reversal of the Co sublattice magneto-crystalline anisotropy for Ga concentrations x > 3. The magnetic structures of the Tb and Co sublattices have also been refined from the neutron-diffraction data and indicate a complex ferrimagnetic behaviour with Ga composition. The Co moment decreases in size with Ga concentration, as does the Curie temperature.

Abstract
The crystallographic and magnetic structures of Tb2Co17−xGax (x = 1, 3, 5 and 7) intermetallics have been investigated by time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction at 293 and 4.2 K. All four compounds crystallize in the rhombohedral Th2Zn17 structure (R 3¯ m) with Co atoms fully occupying the 9d site whilst Co and Ga atoms are found to distribute themselves in a non-random manner on the remaining 6c, 18f and 18h sites. These observed site occupations can be correlated with the sign reversal of the Co sublattice magneto-crystalline anisotropy for Ga concentrations x > 3. The magnetic structures of the Tb and Co sublattices have also been refined from the neutron-diffraction data and indicate a complex ferrimagnetic behaviour with Ga composition. The Co moment decreases in size with Ga concentration, as does the Curie temperature.
