Cb. Cizmas et al., Effect of Si content on magnetic properties and intersublattice exchange interactions in GdFe11-xSixTi compounds, J MAGN MAGN, 226, 2001, pp. 1171-1173
Induction melted GdFe11-xSixTi alloys (x less than or equal to2) with ThMn1
2-type structure have been investigated. The decrease of Curie temperature,
magnetic moment and anisotropy constant are ruled by Si 3p electron transf
er into Fe 3d band. The increase of the exchange interaction parameter betw
een Gd and Fe sublattice shows that indirect 3d-4f interaction is enhanced.
