Description

We report lattice parameter and superconducting temperature transition (Tc) measurements on ErNi2-xMxB2C (M=Co,Pd,Pt, x=0.20; M=Co, x=0.05). We discuss the origin of Tc lowering which is relatively modest for the substitutions Pd and Pt (dTc/dx∝-12 K) and more pronounced for the non-isoelectronic substitution of Co (dTc/dx∝-120 K). We also report 166Er Moessbauer measurements for M=Co, x=0.20 which evidence a main Er3+ ordering temperature near 5 K and a saturated magnetic moment of 8μB. (orig.)
