Description
The RCo3Sn compounds where R=Gd to Tm, as well as the new SmCo3Sn, have been synthesised and their magnetic properties investigated from 4 to 300 K and under 7-9 T. These alloys order ferromagnetically, the Curie temperatures ranging from 10 K for R=Tm to 130 K for R=Gd. Their magnitude together with their linear variation versus the 'de Gennes' factor tend to show that Co is not magnetic in this series. Besides, a smooth superimposed metamagnetic type behaviour occurs in GdCo3Sn below 22 K around 1.2 T. (orig.)
