Abstract:
The educed Gd atoms in the X-structure (Th6Mn23-type) of Gd(Fe1−xMnx)2 were magnetically investigated by comparing with Gd6(Fe1−yMny)23 whose structure is Th6Mn23-type. The magnetic properties of Gd(Fe1−xMnx)2 (0.4≤x≤0.7) were observed to be quite similar to those of Gd6(Fe1−yMny)23 (0.4≤y≤0.7).
