Abstract
The individual sizes and orientations of the magnetic moments of Tb and Co in different sites were studied by neutron diffraction of Tbn+1Co3n+5B2n (n =1, 2, 3, and infinity). Total magnetic moments obtained by our neutron dif fraction measurements are in agreement with the literature and our supercon ducting quantum interference device measurements. The local atomic volumes dependence of Tb and Co magnetic moments are discussed using the Wigner-Sei tz cell construction method. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0021 -8979(00)07201-7].
