摘要
The influence of Cr substitution by various metals (M = V, Mn, Fe, Cu and Al) on the magnetic state of the itinerant intermetallics La(Cr,M)Sb-3 was studied by magnetization and magnetic susceptibility measurements up to 55 kG at 5 K and from 4.2 to 400 K, in a magnetic field of 1000 G, respectively. It was found that the Curie temperature (T-C) and magnetization (M) of these compounds depend nonlinearly on the concentration, remaining in the vicinity of the values of T-C and M measured for LaCrSb3. Curie temperatures and magnetization values at 55 kG are suppressed by Mn, Fe, V, and Cu, and have a slight maximum at low Al concentration (about 5%). (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
