Crystal of Nd3Fe29-xTix, Pr3Fe29-xTix, and Ce3Fe29-xTix with x = 1.5 were g
rown by the Czochralski method and subjected to magnetic and structural mea
surements. Magnetic measurements Using SQUID magnetometer at 5 and 300 K sh
owed a small magneto-crystalline anisotropy in the as-grown crystals. The r
esult of the AC susceptibility measurements on single and polycrystalline m
aterials shed light on the origin of the reported spin re-orientation pheno
mena in these materials. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved
