“…The saturation moment in FM GdFeAl is found to be 5.8 µB/f.u., lower than the theoretical value of Gd 3+ ion [58], indicating no moment from Fe, however FM ordering in non-magnetic rare earth compounds such as YFeAl and LuFeAl suggest magnetic moment contribution from Fe atoms. A promising material for magnetic refrigeration application, TbFeAl was also reported to show large exchange bias, making it a multifunctional material [59]. The results suggest that the exchange bias in TbFeAl is induced by the inherent crystallographic disorder between Fe and Al and strong magneto-crystalline anisotropy of Tb 3+ [59].…”
