Yj. Tang et al., EFFECTIVE INTERSUBLATTICE EXCHANGE COUPLING IN TB(FE1-XTX)(2) (T=MN, GA) INTERMETALLICS FROM MOLECULAR-FIELD THEORY CALCULATION, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 152(1-2), 1996, pp. 70-74
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
