The approximate composition limits of the SC3I11 phase have been determined as 22 to 23 at.% In. Susceptibility measurements have been made on a number of alloys, containing various amounts of the Scsln phase, in the composition range 21-26 at.% In. Heat and mechanical treatments reveal a critical dependence of the magnetic properties on the degree of order of the Sc 3 In phase. Although the susceptibility varies inversely with temperature, this behavior is not considered to be evidence for the presence of localized moments, since the magnetic moment per Sc atom is much smaller than that associated with S -l, and does not agree with the value obtained from the magnetization data as a function of magnetic field. Initial susceptibility measurements, below the Curie temperature, exhibit structure which suggests that a strong magnetocrystalline anistropy may exist at temperatures close to T c . The pressure dependence of the Curie point has been determined as dT c /dP = l.%XlOr 4 ' °K bar" 1 . 2 B. T. Matthias and R. M. Bozorth, Phys. Rev. 109, 604 (1958).
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.
