Description

Results of magnetic and ESR investigations are given of Sm6(Mn/sub 1-x/Fe/sub x/)23 compounds for 0 < x < 0.55, above the magnetic ordering temperature T/sub C/. Significant deviations from the Curie-Weiss law are found and also a strong field-dependence of the magnetic susceptibility in a wide temperature range above T/sub C/. ESR investigations performed in the X-band in the temperature range from 150 to 400 K show an increase of the ESR signal with the increase of Fe concentration in the compound and also anomalous temperature variations of the ESR parameters. The results of the magnetic and ESR investigations are interpreted assuming the formation of magnetic Fe clusters for compounds with x > 0.2. (author)
