M. Strecker et G. Wortmann, High-pressure Gd-155-Mossbauer study of magnetic properties in GdM2 Laves phases (M = Mn, Fe, Al), HYPER INTER, 121(1-8), 1999, pp. 187-191
We report on high-pressure Gd-155-Mossbauer studies of the magnetic propert
ies of GdM2 (Mn, Fe, Al) Laves phases in the cubic C15 phase, and, for the
first time, of GdMn2 also in the high-pressure hexagonal C14 phase. We used
an improved high-pressure cell with either boroncarbide, sapphire or sinte
red diamond anvils allowing pressures up to 20 GPa and a simultaneous deter
mination of magnetic ordering temperatures by in-situ resistivity measureme
nts of the sample under study.
