Ag. Kuchin et al., EFFECT OF RANDOM LOCAL CRYSTAL FIELDS ON THE MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF RARE-EARTH RNI(5-X)CU(X) COMPOUNDS, Physica status solidi. b, Basic research, 197(2), 1996, pp. 447-451
It was experimentally revealed that the concentration variations of th
e spontaneous magnetization, Curie temperature, and initial susceptibi
lity of RNi(5-x)Cu(x) alloys (R = Pr, Nd, Tb, Er, Y) were different fo
r various R. The obtained results are qualitatively explained in terms
of effects of random local crystal fields appearing in the substituti
onal alloys.
