摘要
The magnetic properties of PrMn2Si2 and NdMn2Si2 have been reinvestigated. Below T(N) (368 and 381 K for PrMn2Si2 and NdMn2Si2 respectively) the previously proposed antiferromagnetic ordering taking place on the manganese sublattice is confirmed. Neutron diffraction experiments show that the Pr magnetic moments do not order above 1.6 K, while a ferromagnetic ordering of the neodymium sublattice occurs at T(C) = 33(2) K (mu(Nd) = 2.83(4) mu(B) at 1.6 K). The magnetic coupling between the two sublattices is mainly ferromagnetic, with the easy axis of the magnetic structure aligned along the c axis, but a slight antiferromagnetic coupling remains between the Mn moments in the (001) plane (mu(Mn, F) = 1.4 mu(B) and mu(Mn, AF) = 0.8 mu(B) at 1.6 K).
