Abstract
The magnetization of the RNi4Mn compounds (R = Gd-Tm and Y) was studied up to 55 kOe at 2K, and up to 400K at 30 kOe. A substantial increase of T-C wi th respect to nonsubstituted RNi5, series was found. The nonlinear variatio n of T-C vs. R and the change of the high filed magnetization values is att ributed to the Mn substitution. Field induced magnetic phase transitions we re observed at 2K for R = Er and Tm, These transitions are suggested to occ ur due to the magnetic anisotropy in the rare earth sublattice.
