Abstract
Magnetization and neutron diffraction studies have been made on a 7% Ni-sub stituted analogue of the hexagonal ferromagnetic compound Fe2P. Substitutio n of Ni for Fe strengthens the ferromagnetic order and raises the Curie tem perature to approximate to 295 K from approximate to 210 K in Fe2P. But the values of the magnetic moments on the two metallic sites do not change muc h. The moments continue to orient along the c-axis as in the parent compoun d.
