M. Slimani et al., SOME MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES AND EXCHANGE INTERACTIONS IN FE80-XTMXB12SI8AMORPHOUS-ALLOYS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 163(3), 1996, pp. 349-352
The magnetization and Curie temperatures of amorphous Fe80-xTmxB12Si8
alloys (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 15) have been
measured, The Tm moment is 6.2 mu(B) at 4.2 K, which is lower than the
theoretical value, implying a conical spin structure. mu(Fe) is found
to be independent of the Tm concentration and is equal to 2.05 mu(B).
Mean-field theory has been used to describe the temperature dependenc
e of the magnetization. The exchange interactions between Fe-Fe, Fe-Tm
and Tm-Tm atom pairs have also been evaluated.
