Magnetic properties of Tb1−xYxMn6Sn6 compounds

Magnetic anisotropy of Tb1−xGdxMn6Sn6 compounds

“…However, for RMn 6 Sn 6 with non-magnetic R elements the ground state is antiferromagnetic [9,10]. In the quasi-ternary Tb 1Àx Y x Mn 6 Sn 6 system the ferromagnet-to-antiferromagnet transition occurs at x$0.8 [11], and therefore, the anisotropy of the manganese subsystem is rather difficult to study. In the present paper, we study the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the Tb 1Àx Gd x Mn 6 Sn 6 compounds.…”

Magnetic phase transitions in the Gd1−xTmxMn6Sn6 compounds

“…Recently, a large magnetoresistance effect has been observed in HfFe 6 Ge 6 -type (space group: P6/mmm) RMn 6 Sn 6 compounds and their derivative, YMn 6 Sn 5.8 Ga 0.2 , Y 0.5 Ho 0.5 Mn 6 Sn 6 , Y 0.7 Ce 0.3 Mn 6 Sn 6 [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The rare-earth R and Mn atoms occupy the 1b and 6i positions, respectively, while the Sn atoms occupy the three crystallographic positions: 2c, 2d and 2e.…”

“…The lattice has an intrinsic layered structure. In these compounds, the rare-earth sublattice orders together with the Mn sublattice somewhat above room temperature [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The competition between different interlayer exchange interactions results in variety of magnetic structures.…”

Investigation of magnetic phase transitions in HfFe6Ge6-type Gd1−xErxMn6Sn6 intermetallics

“…Recently, the magnetic structures and properties of the hexagonal HfFe 6 Ge 6 -type (space group P6/mmm) RMn 6 Sn 6 compound have been studied extensively [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The rare-earth R and Mn atoms occupy three positions 1b and 6i, respectively, while the Sn atoms occupy three positions: 2e, 2d and 2c.…”
