Hydrogen in R2Fe17 intermetallic compounds: Structural, thermodynamic, and magnetic properties

Hydrogen storage properties of Ml, _,Ca,Ni, pseudobinary intermetallic compounds

The hydrogen storage properties of the pseudobinary intermetallic compounds Ml, -.Ca,Ni, (where Ml is La-rich mischmetal and x varies from 0 to 0.9) were investigated over the temperature range of 25-80°C It was found in experiment that with increasing x in Ml,_,Ca,Ni, the incubation time for its first hydrogenation shortened, the first hydrogen absorption rate accelerated, the hysteresis lower...

Evidence for a modulated ordering in the intermetallic compounds TbGe0,2Si0,8 and ErSi of CrB-type

2014 Neutron diffraction experiments have been performed on powder samples of TbGe0.2Si0.8 and ErSi. They order respectively at TN = 55 K and 11.5 K with a pure sine wave modulation propagating along the [100] direction of the orthorhombic unit cell. The wave vector k = [kx, 0, 1/2] is incommensurate with the lattice and is temperature dependent down to TIC (TIC = 43.5 K and 7.25 K respectively...

Driving magnetostructural transitions in layered intermetallic compounds.

We report the dramatic effect of applied pressure and magnetic field on the layered intermetallic compound Pr(0.5)Y(0.5)Mn(2)Ge(2). In the absence of pressure or magnetic field this compound displays interplanar ferromagnetism at room temperature and undergoes an isostructural first order magnetic transition (FOMT) to an antiferromagnetic state below 158 K, followed by another FOMT at 50 K due ...

Quadrupole Interactions in Rare-earth Intermetallic Compounds

A survey of the role played by the one-ion magnetoelastic and two-ion quadrupolar interactions on the magnetic and elastic properties of the rare-earth intermetallic compounds is given. These couplings are present in numerous systems and manifest themselves through a great variety of effects. The study of the multipolar interactions concerning the 4f shell has known a great development about ra...
