Description

Formation of two more new materials, Pr2Ni3Si5 and Ho2Ni3Si5, of the series, R2Ni3Si5 (R = rare earth and Y) and their magnetic properties are reported here. These materials crystallize in the orthorhombic U2Co3Si5-type structure (space group Ibam). Magnetic susceptibility measurement in the temperature range 5 K--300 K show that the compound Pr2Ni3Si5 order antiferromagnetically at TN ∼ 8.5 K and Ho2Ni3Si5 at ∼ 6 K. Considering TN(Gd2Ni3Si5) ∼ 15 K, TN(Pr2Ni3Si5) ∼ 8.5 K is rather high. The magnetic susceptibility of both of the materials, in the paramagnetic state, follows a Curie-Weiss law with effective moment close to that of the corresponding free trivalent rare earth ion
