Abstract: | The HfFe6Ge6-type compounds Gd0.8L0.2Mn6Sn6 and Tb0.8L0.2Mn6Sn6 (L = Sc, Y, Lu) have been studied by 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. The values of the apparent quadrupolar splitting clearly evidence the easy plane magnetization of the gadolinium compounds and the easy axis one in the terbium compounds. The three tin sites behave differently with the nature and size of the substituting L element. For a given series, the hyperfine field of the Sn2d site is almost unchanged whatever the size of the L element. The hyperfine field of the Sn2e site strongly varies with the L size in relation with atomic displacements. The hyperfine field of the Sn2c site exhibits a more complicated behavior. The field difference in the easy plane and easy axis compounds confirms the angle-dependent anisotropic contribution of the Mn moment to the hyperfine field. The analysis of the results also suggests the play of angle-dependent contributions arising from the rare earth moment. |
