Description

The crystal and magnetic structure of intermetallic compound with the nominal composition YFe10Si2 was studied by neutron powder diffraction at room temperature. The data were analyzed by the Rietveld method. The results show that the sample consists of ThMn12-type YFe10.2Si1.8 and α-Fe(Si). In the YFe10.2Si1.8 phase. most of Si atoms occupy the 8f sites, the rest of Si atoms enter the 8j sites and there are no Si atoms in the 8i sites. (authors)
