ABSTRACTThe bulk magnetic properties of (ErxY1-x)2Fe14B and (ErxPr1-x)2Fe14B systems were studied over the temperature range 4.2-1100 K. Lattice parameters, saturation magnetizations, Curie temperatures and spin reorientation temperatures were determined. Theoretical description of the detailed magnetic behavior is presented, based on a crystal field model. The (ErxY1-x)2Fe14B compounds were all found to exhibit plane-to-axis spin reorientations similar to that observed for Er2Fe14B, with the transition temperature decreasing with increasing Y content. In contrast, the spin reorientations in the (ErxPr1-x)2Fe14B systems appear to be of the cone-to-axis type. Since higher order crystal field terms appear to be significant only in the cases of Nd3+ and Ho3+, the results are discussed in terms of a crystal field Hamiltonian involving only 2nd order terms. Using known values of the exchange field, Fe anisotropy and the ratios of the crystal field coefficients, the multi-ion cr 6.tal field problem was formulated in terms of a single adjustable parameter (B02(f). It is shown that 2nd order crystal field terms are capable, not only of explaining the conical anisotropy of the (ErxPr1-x)2Fe14B systems, but also the decrease in the Er moment upon passing through the spin reorientation (as has been observed for Er2Fe14B). The magnetic structure of Er1.5Pr0.5Fe14B is also predicted.

The single-crystal magnetic susceptibilities from 4.5 to 300 K, and the magnetizations at 4.5 K from 0.25 to 5 T, of Cs2KFe(CN)6 along a, b and c* are reported. The data are fitted well by a crystal field model with splitting of the ground-state 2T2g term of the hexacyanoferrate (III) ion. The three variable parameters of the model were the two representing the low-symmetry splitting of the t2g orbitals, and the effective reduction in the orbital angular momentum. Four other parameters were fixed at values known or estimated from other experiments on hexacyanoferrate (III) ions, including polarized neutron diffraction which determines the orientation of lower-symmetry crystal field components. The crystal field has only inversion symmetry with respect to the ligand axes, with a non-cubic component which is almost uniaxial with respect to the a,b,c * axis system.
