Abstract
The magnetic phase diagram of the Fe2+ doped hexagonal ABX(3) compound CsNi 0.9Fe0.1Cl3 is investigated by heat capacity and magnetocaloric experiments . In spite of the high doping concentration, some phase boundaries appear s urprisingly well-defined, while others are broadened significantly. The dis cussion of this behaviour clarifies the potentials and limitations of dopin g as a means to manipulate the effective anisotropy in quasi one-dimensiona l ABX(3) compounds.
