AbstractThe plumbides RE2Rh2Pb (RE = La–Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb) were synthesized in sealed niobium ampoules by induction melting of the pure elements or directly via arc-melting. The characterization of the samples by X-ray powder diffraction confirmed their Mo2B2Fe-type structure (space group P4/mbm) at room temperature. The Sm2Rh1.924Pb structure was refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: a=760.02(5), c=378.20(3) pm, wR=0.0387, 292 F2 values, 13 variables. The rhodium site shows small defects. The RE2Rh2Pb plumbides are simple 1:1 intergrowth structures of AlB2 and CsCl related slabs of compositions RERh2 and REPb. The Rh2 dumbbell in the SmRh2 slab of Sm2Rh2Pb shows a Rh–Rh distance of 281 pm. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements of La2Rh2Pb, Pr2Rh2Pb and Nd2Rh2Pb showed that the rhodium atoms carry no localized magnetic moments. La2Rh2Pb exhibits Pauli-paramagnetic behavior induced by the conduction electrons. The ground state of the praseodymium compound is ferromagnetic below TC=3.3 K while the neodymium compound shows a transition to an antiferromagnetic state at TN=6.1 K and a metamagnetic transition at a critical field of ca. 1000 Oe.

It is well known that the free neutron decays spontaneously into a proton, an electron and an antineutrino, that it has a spin of 1/2 h and a negative magnetic moment, but very careful measurements have failed as yet to reveal any evidence for a finite electric charge or dipole moment. This paper contains a brief discussion of early work and more detail of recent experiments at the Institut Laue-Langevin (I.L.L.), Grenoble, which have shown that the neutron charge is probably less than 4 x 10 -20 electron charges (Bayreuth-Munich group), the neutron electric dipole moment (e.d.m.) is less than 1.5 x 10 -24 cm times the electron charge (Oak Ridge-Harvard-Sussex group), and the ratio of the neutron and proton magnetic moments is equal to — 0.68497 947(17), the uncertainty being only 0.25/10 6 (Harvard-Sussex-Oak Ridge group). The main features of the Leningrad experiments with ultra-cold neutrons, which have reduced the neutron electric dipole length to 7.5 x 10 -25 cm, are reported, with some details of the performance of the ultra-cold neutron magnetic resonance spectrometer now working at I.L.L. and the way it will be used to look for a neutron e.d.m. The paper concludes with some comments on the importance of the neutron moments to the development of the theory of fundamental particles.
