Hard magnetic properties of ErCo7−xCux [0.3⩽x⩽1] system

Crystal structure and magnetic properties of novel intermetallic compounds in the Er–Cu–Ga system

“…Focusing on erbium-based intermetallics, superconductivity [1,2], hard magnetic properties [3] or high thermopower [4] have already been observed. In order to find new compounds with original properties, we started a systematic study of the interaction of erbium with copper and elements of the 13th group.…”

Structural and magnetic studies of a new intermetallic compound: Er2Cu10.9Ga6.1

“…The erbium-based intermetallic compounds Er x T y X z (where T is a transition metal and X is a p -block element) are interesting for their electronic properties such as hard magnetic properties (Banerjee et al , 2007), high thermopower (Kaczorowski et al , 2005), and superconductivity (Godart et al , 1995; Bordet et al , 1999). In order to find new compounds with original properties, a systematic study of the interaction of erbium with copper and elements of the 13 th IUPAC group has been started.…”

Crystallographic and magnetic descriptions of a novel erbium rich aluminide: Er10Co1+xAl3−x (x = 0.30)

“…Magnetically ordered materials; A. Rare earth alloys and compounds; C. Crystal structure; D. Magnetic measurement; D. X-ray diffraction.Erbium-based intermetallics can exhibit remarkable physical properties such as superconductivity [1,2], hard magnetic properties [3], elevated thermopower [4] or important magnetocaloric effect (MCE). This is the case for the Er-rich compounds Er 3 Ni 2 [5], Er 3 Ir [6] or Er 3 Co [7,8] presenting interesting MCE features at low temperature.…”
