Description

The ternary compound Gd3(Fe:Ti)29, which has the monoclinic Nd3(Fe:Ti)29 structure, has ben successfully prepared from a starting composition of Gd8.5Fe86Ti5.5 by annealing at 1080 deg. C for 3 d. The Gd:Fe:Ti ratio for 3:29, determined by energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDAX), is 9.1:85.7:5.2. Thermo-gravimetric analysis gives a magnetic ordering temperature of 524(3) K for Gd3(Fe:Ti)29. The lattice parameters, determined by refinement of powder x-ray diffraction data, are a=10.6409(16) A, b=8.5658(9) A, c=9.7375(15) A and β=97.017(14) deg. 57Fe Moessbauer measurements on Gd3(Fe:Ti)29 yield an average hyperfine field of 24.4(2) T at 293 K, which corresponds to an average Fe magnetic moment of about 1.6μB.
