The magnetic features of GdNi2B2C (14/mmm, a=3.578 A, c=10.361 A) and GdNiBC (P4/nmm, a=3.631 A, c=7.546 A) have been studied for 1.2 Kor=125 kOe at 1.7 K) is approximately three times that of GdNiBC implying that the average interlayer interactions in the former are much stronger than in the latter. The overall magnetic features of both compounds are interpreted in terms of the picture that assumes the Gd moments to have strong ferromagnetic intralayer couplings and averaged antiferromagnetic interlayer interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
