Abstract
ThMn12-type compounds TbFe6Al6, HoFe6Al6 and ErFe6Al6 order uniformly around 340(10) K by forming ferromagnetic rare-earth and iron sublatti ces, which are coupled antiparallel to each other within the tetragona l basis plane. Individual rare earth and iron moments are analysed bet ween 300 and 4 K. The ordering process is restricted over a wide tempe rature range, which is explained by the existence of frozen spins.
