Paramagnetism of Sm1-xErxFe2 and Sm1-xTxFe2 compounds

Magnetic properties of Sm1-xErxFe2 (x=0; 0.02; 0.04; 0.1; 0.2; 0.4; 0.6; 1.0) and Sm1-xTmxFe2 (x=0; 0.02; 0.05; 0.1; 0.2; 0.4; 0.6; 0.8; 1.0) compounds in paramagnetic region including the high-temperature region are investigated. Magnetic properties of the given compounds in paramagnetic region are shown to correspond to the earlier obtained data on magnetic moment in magnetically ordered state. They also testify to the fact that iron d-electrons in the investigated compounds are less localized in comparison with pure iron
