Physical properties of GdNiGa

Description

Electrical resistivity (4.2-300 K range) and magnetization measurements (4.2-300 K and 0-1 T) were performed on GdNiGa, TiNiSi type. Onset of ferromagnetism is observed at T-c=30.5 K, with a magnetic moment saturation value (H=1 T) at 4.2 K of 7.2 mu(B). A Curie-Weiss like behaviour is observed above T-c, with a paramagnetic Curie temperature theta(p)=32 K and a magnetic moment mu(eff)=7.85 mu(B).
