Abstract
Single-phase compounds of Y2Fe17-xGaxC2 with rhombohedral Th2Zn17-type structure were prepared by melt-spinning for x = 0 and 1 and by are m elting for 2 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 6. The subs titution of Ga in Y2Fe17C2 results in a linear increase in the unit ce ll volume, but the Fe moment decreases linearly from 2.05 mu(B) for x = 0 to 1.3 mu(B) for x = 6. The Curie temperature T-C decreases slowly until x = 2, and then drops at a rapid rate with increasing Ga concen tration x.
