“…The pseudobinary intermetallic compounds RGe 1Àx Si x ðR ¼ rare earthÞ crystallize with the CrB and FeB orthorhombic types structures [1], some of them exhibiting dimorphism and undergoing structural transformations with x: The RGe 1Àx Si x ; R ¼ Ce; La systems adopt the FeBtype of structure (Pnma space group, Z ¼ 4; for CeGe: a ¼ 8:343 ( A; b ¼ 4:081 ( A; c ¼ 6:031 ( A; all atoms occupy the 4c position: ðx; 1=4; zÞ at the mirror plane m y Þ: The RGe compounds with R ¼ Nd (CrB), Pr (CrB, FeB) and the RSi compounds R ¼ Nd; Pr (FeB) order ferromagnetically and ferrimagnetically, respectively, while all other compounds order antiferromagnetically [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Our studies of the ðx; TÞ magnetic phase diagrams of the heavy rare-earth compounds RGe 1Àx Si x ðR ¼ Tb; Dy, Ho, Er) revealed several wave vectors describing two-and three-dimensional incommensurate modulated phases for both the CrB or FeB modifications and several phase transitions (cf.…”
