Abstract
Samples of RFe(10)Si(2)C(x) with R = Y, Gd, Dy, and Er; x = 0, 0.1, 0. 3, and 0.5 were prepared by are-melting. X-ray diffraction and thermom agnetic analyses showed that interstitial carbides with the ThMn12 str ucture are formed. Similar to R(2)Fe(17)C(x), the amount of C in the i nterstitial carbides is much smaller by are melting than that by gas-s olid reaction. Lattice expansion and Curie temperature enhancement are observed, but the effects of C addition are small. Spin reorientation temperatures of DyFe10Si2 and ErFe10Si2 decrease due to the interstit ial C atoms.
