First, crystal structures, phase relationships, and magnetic prop- erties of several 5：4 compounds, including Nd5 Si4-xGex, Pr5 Si4_xGex, Gds-xLaxGe4, La5 Si4, and Gd5 Sn4, are presented. In particular, the canted spin structures as well as the magnetic phase transitions in PrsSi2Ge2 and PrsGe4 investigated by neutron powder diffractions and small-angle neutron scattering are reviewed. Second, the crystal structures and magnetic properties of the most studied compounds Gds（Si,Ge）4 are summarized. The focus is on the parent compound GdsGe4, which is an amazing material exhibiting magnetic anisotropy, angular dependent spin-flop transition, metastable magnetic response, Griffiths-like phase, thermal effect under pulsed fields, antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic resonances, pro- nounced effects of impurities, and high-field induced magnetic transitions.展开更多

Three vertical sections of Tb0.15Ho0.85Fey-Tb0.3Dy0.7Fey（y=1.85, 1.9, 2.0） in the Tb-Dy-Ho-Fe system were determined using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and differential thermal analysis. These vertical sections consisted of two single-phase regions： L and（Tb,Dy,Ho）Fe2; four two-phase regions： L＋（Tb,Dy,Ho）Fe3, L＋（Tb,Dy,Ho）Fe2,（Tb,Dy,Ho）Fe2＋（Tb,Dy,Ho）Fe3, and（Tb,Dy,Ho）Fe2＋（Tb,Dy,Ho）. The high Ho content of（Tb,Dy,Ho）Fey alloys led to the elevation of the peritectic temperature of L＋（Tb,Dy,Ho）Fe3→（Tb,Dy,Ho）Fe2. The region of（Tb,Dy,Ho）Fe2 phase was shifted towards the side of rich-Ho with the Fe content increasing. It meant that the substitution of Ho for Dy or Tb had a marked effect on the solidification process of（Tb,Dy,Ho）Fe2 compounds.展开更多
