The effects of the combined substitution of Y and Ga on the crystallographic structure of Nd2−xYxFe17−yGay intermetallic compounds

Investigations on the structural and magnetic properties of doubly substituted Nd2Fe17−x−yTixGay compounds (0≤x≤1.0, 0≤y≤3)

“…Nd 2 Fe 17−x−y Ti x Ga y compounds with nominal compositions of {x = 0, y = 0, 1, 2, 3}, {x = 0.5, y = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3} and {x = 1.0, y = 1, 2, 3} were prepared from starting materials of at least 99.9% purity by arc melting in a highly pure Ar atmosphere according to a previous procedure [26]. X-ray and neutron powder diffractions were used to determine the crystallographic structure and phase components.…”
