Abstract
The magnetic properties of Ho(Fe0.6Mn0.4)(12) were studied by X-ray diffrac tion and magnetic measurements. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that th e compound is of single phase and has the TnMn(12) tetragonal structure. Ma gnetic measurements show that the Curie temperature is 204 K. The magnetiza tion curve crosses zero at 98 K and exhibits a negative value below the com pensation point. The hystersis loops at different temperatures have been me asured: the magnetization curves show complicated magnetic properties in a strong external field. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
