Zw. Zhang et al., MOLECULAR-FIELD THEORY ANALYSIS OF R2CO17 (R=PR, ND, GD, TB, DY, HO, ER, TM) INTERMETALLIC COMPOUNDS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 170(1-2), 1997, pp. 184-188
The temperature dependence of magnetization is analysed for R2Co17 via
the two-sublattice molecular field theory. The molecular field coeffi
cients n(CC), n(RC) and n(RR) are obtained, by which T-c was calculate
d. Using the least-squares method, the fitted-form of H-R(T) varying w
ith temperature for each compound are presented. The results are analy
sed and compared with the results obtained from the Fe-based compounds
. In addition, the parameters F = M-Co(2)(0).n(CC)/T-c are calculated
for each R2Co17 and by F, some unexpected phenomena hitherto unobserve
d are explained.
