A complete study on the critical behavior of the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition in intermetallics GdScSi, GdScGe, GdSc(Si0.5Ge0.5) and Gd(Sc0.5Ti0.5)Ge has been carried out by means of magnetic as well as calorimetric measurements, using a high resolution ac photopyroelectric technique. The critical exponents α, β, γ, δ and the ratio...

A family of novel intermetallic R3CoNi with heavy rare earth ions has been synthesized (R = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu) and a study of the crystal structure of these phases performed. All the compounds adopt the rhombohedral Er3Ni2-type structure [Pearson's symbol hR45; space group R-3h (N. 148)]. A thorough investigation of their magnetic and...

A complete critical behavior study of the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition in intermetallics NdScSi and NdScGe has been carried out by means of magnetic as well as calorimetric measurements. The critical exponents alfa, beta, gamma and delta have been independently obtained. For NdScSi they are alfa = - 0.015, beta = 0.339, gamma =...
