Description
Nd2Ni2Sn crystallizes as Ce2Ni2Sn in the orthorhombic structure related to the W2CoB2-type. Its unit cell parameters are, respectively, a=436.0(1) pm; b=569.5(2) pm and c=849.8(2) pm. Nd2Ni2Sn orders antiferromagnetically at TN1=21.0(2) K and exhibits two other transitions at T2=17.7(2) K and around 14-15 K. These ordering temperatures are higher than that determined for the first time on NdNiSn (TN=3.0(2) K). The investigations of Nd2Ni2Sn by electrical resistivity, AC and DC magnetization and 119Sn Moessbauer spectroscopy allow to propose a tentative field-temperature magnetic phase diagram exhibiting four different phases.
