Magnetism of R 2Ni 7 and RNi 3 (R=Y, La, Ce)
Abstract
The temperature and field dependence of magnetization of R 2Ni 7 and RNi 3 (R=Y, La, Ce) have been measured. It has been revealed that Y 2Ni 7 and YNi 3 show weak ferromagnetism, and that La 2Ni 7 and LaNi 3 show susceptibility peaks and metamagnetic transitions. Such behavior may be connected with the band structure. Ce 2Ni 7 shows very weak ferromagnetism, and CeNi 3 shows Pauli paramagnetism.
