Magnetic, Electric and Thermal Properties of NdNiAl₄Single Crystal

Phase relations of the Sm–Ni–Al ternary system at 500°C in the 40–100at.% Al region

“…[9,53,54] As for the Sm-Ni-Al system, data are particularly lacking: no information on the phase diagram is reported in the above mentioned Ternary Alloys Series and a systematic study of the system does not appear to have been published yet.…”

Magnetocaloric effect in the ferromagnetic GdNi4M (M=Al, Si) and antiferromagnetic NdNiAl4 compounds

“…This paper describes the magnetic and MCE properties in the ferromagnetic (FM) GdNi 4 Al, GdNi 4 Si, and the antiferromagnetic (AFM) NdNiAl 4 compounds. All the compounds order magnetically between 9 and 30 K. DyNi 4 Al is included in the studies for a verification of the sensitivity of the MCE effect to the substitution of Gd in GdNi 4 Al by another lanthanide ion.…”

Low temperature nuclear orientation studies of the magnetic structures of RNiAl4 in applied magnetic fields

“…NdNiAl 4 is also an antiferromagnet for small applied fields at low temperature but in contrast to the Tb compound, the alignment of the Nd 3+ is along the b axis and the metamagnetic transition of Fig. 1b, at ∼4.5 T at 2 K has no hysteresis nor apprecible temperature dependence below 2 K (see also [5,6]). …”
