摘要
A quantitative description of the magnetic behaviour is obtained for the itinerant electrons of the rare-earth-cobalt Laves-phase compounds. This is accomplished by fitting the results of a fixed-spin-moment calculation of the electronic energy of YCo2 to a power series in the magnetization for several different volumes and by coupling to the rare earth spins in molecular field theory. The T = 0 itinerant moments are obtained for the RCo2 series and the alloy Y1-xGdxCo2. The spontaneous volume magnetostriction of RCo2 is also estimated. The results are compared with experiment.
