Ge. Fernandez et al., COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF THE FERRO-ANTIFERROMAGNETIC TRANSITION IN CE(FE,CO)(2) AND CE(FE,AL)(2), Journal of alloys and compounds, 261(1-2), 1997, pp. 26-31
The magnetic, thermal and transport properties of Ce(Fe,Co)(2) and Ce(
Fe,Al)(2) around the ferro-antiferromagnetic (F-AF) transition are stu
died and compared in their thermodynamic aspects. We confirm the prese
nce of a structural contribution to the enthalpy of the transition in
the case of Co substitution, which is the main difference between the
AF phase transitions in both systems. The role of the Ce hybridization
in the Co case and the ''canted'' nature of the AF phase in Ce(Fe,Al)
(2) are discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
