Abstract
The intersublattice exchange coupling J(RT) was calculated for Tb(Fe1- xTx)(2) (T = Mn, Ga) intermetallics on the basis of a two-sublattice m olecular-field theory. The results are compared with experimental data and ab initio calculations. A decrease of J(RT) due to Mn/Ga substitu tion in the compounds was found, and is attributed to the reduction of the R-Fe coupling pairs. Values for the exchange coupling constant J( TT) and J(RR) for the compounds were also obtained through calculation s.
