A series of Nd 1−y Dy y Fe 11−x TiM x (M = Mo, Si) alloys have been prepared by arc melting and studied by X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction. All samples are found to crystallize in the ThMn 12 -type structure. The lattice parameters a and c and unit cell volume V of Nd 0.5 Dy 0.5 Fe 11−x TiMo x alloys increase linearly with increasing content of Mo (x), while the lattice parameters a and c and unit cell volume V of Nd 0.5 Dy 0.5 Fe 11−x TiSi x alloys decrease linearly with increasing content of Si(x). In Nd y Dy 1−y Fe 11−x TiM x (M = Mo, Si) compounds, Ti and Mo atoms preferentially occupy the 8i sites and Si atoms preferentially occupy the 8j and 8f sites. Magnetic measurements show that the substitution of Fe by either Mo or Si leads to a decrease in the Curie temperature.rare earth-transition metal compounds, crystal structure, X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction
