Magnetic and magnetoelastic properties of the TbMnSi and Tb0.5La0.5MnSi compounds

Magnetic properties of the Tb1−La MnSi intermetallic compounds at high magnetic field

“…They were found to be equal to θ p = 31.07 K and μ eff = 10.17μ B , which are close to the value given in [2]. The temperature dependence of the magnetoelastic properties of the TbMnSi compound (thermal expansion and magnetostriction) exhibits a maximum at temperature close to the value of T 3 [14] in Fig. 2.…”

“…During the past years the ternary manganese rare-earth silicides RMnSi (where R-rare-earth metal) have been extensively studied by magnetization and neutron diffraction measurements in the search of a new magnetic materials suited for the technical application [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. These compounds crystallize in three different structural types: the tetragonal CeFeSi-type, orthorhombic TiNiSi-type [1,5,10].…”
