“…Nd 6 Co 1.67 Si 3 has T C =86 K and T * =39 K, in agreement with the values reported earlier [14]. It is noteworthy that though the impurity content was much less in this compound, the M-T behavior is almost identical to that of compound across the field induced antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition [6,8,9]. However, unlike doped CeFe 2 , in the present case, there is a large remanence at low temperatures.…”
