Abstract
We report on bulk magnetization measurements performed on ThCr2Si2-typ e RMn1.5T0.5Ge2 compounds (R=Y, La-Nd, Sm, Gd-Ho; T=Cu, Fe). These pse udo-ternary compounds display largely correlated variations of their m agnetic transition temperatures. This phenomenon might be related to m agnetic properties based on competing in-plane and inter-plane Mn-Mn i nteractions. The RMn1.5Cu0.5Ge2 compounds are characterized by relativ ely large magnetocrystalline anisotropy. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A .
