摘要
Electrical resistivity, magnetization and AC susceptibility measurements have been carried out to investigate the order of the magnetic phase transition in (Er1-xTbx)Co-2 compounds. In this system a changeover from first- to second-order transition at about x(c)=0.60 was observed. This result is discussed in the framework of the generalized Inoue-Shimizu phenomenological model. Moreover, a microscope explanation about the order of the phase transition in terms of spin fluctuation and metamagnetism of the Co-3d subsystem is offered. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
