Magnetic properties of ?
Abstract
0953-8984/9/43/019/img2 and 0953-8984/9/43/019/img3 samples were prepared by arc melting and then annealed in vacuum. For the Nd-rich samples, 0953-8984/9/43/019/img4 type structure was obtained by a long annealing (0953-8984/9/43/019/img5, 48 d); for the Sm-rich samples, it was obtained by a short annealing (750 - 0953-8984/9/43/019/img6, 1 d). With increasing Sm content, the easy magnetization direction converts from the basal plane to the c-axis. An easy-c-axis anisotropy is observed at room temperature for 0953-8984/9/43/019/img7. A small amount of Ti favours the formation of 0953-8984/9/43/019/img4 type structure only in the Sm-rich samples. It destroys this structure in the Nd-rich samples.
