Magnetic structure of the Mn5Si3-type Er5Ge3 compound

The magnetic ordering in the Ho5Si3 and Ho5Ge3 compounds

“…The Hg-type Ho sublattice appears to play the predominant role in determining the magnetic ordering of both phases, with following secondary effects produced by the semi-isolated Ho 6 clusters of Mg-type sublattice. The higher temperature magnetic transition of both these intermetallics (24, 27 K, respectively) is well in trend either with the magnetic ordering temperature of 32 K found in Er 5 Ge 3 [3], as well with the type of magnetic ordering recently determined for this compound [11]. The lower-temperature magnetic ordering of both compounds has no analogs among the already known magnetic structures of the Mn 5 Si 3 -type phases: Tb 5 Si 3 [7], Tb 5 Ge 3 [8], Tb 5 Sb 3 [18], Dy 5 Si 3 [9], Dy 5 Sb 3 [19] and Er 5 Si 3 [10].…”

Magnetic properties and magnetic structure of the Mn5Si3-type Tb5Si3 compound

“…193) [1,2]; among these, in particular, the compounds of silicides and germanides have been found to show interesting electrical and magnetic properties (as a few examples, see refs. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]). …”

The magnetic structure of the compound Ho5Sb3

“…These compounds exhibit complicated magnetic structures, i.e. : conical for Tb 5 Sb 3 [3], Tb 5 Si 3 [4] and Dy 5 Si 3 [5], flat spiral for Tb 5 Ge 3 [6], amplitude sine modulated structure for Dy 5 Sb 3 [7] and collinear for Er 5 Si 3 [8], sine modulated collinear antiferromagnetic in Er 5 Ge 3 [9]. The magnetic properties and magnetic structure of Ho 5 Sb 3 have earlier been reported in the literature [10,11].…”
