Abstract
The complex magnetic ordering of TbNi2B2C and Tb0.4Y0.6Ni2B2C single crysta ls has been investigated by AC-susceptibility and magnetization measurement s. Metamagnetic transitions and an anisotropic behavior within (a, b)-plane were revealed for TbNi2B2C. Alloying with Y reduces the critical field of antiferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition, eliminates the metamagnetic t ransitions and induces superconductivity below 4.1 K.
