摘要
Tb(6)Fe(1-x)C(o)xBi(2) (x = 0, 0.125, 0.250, 0.375) compounds have been synthesized, and the structural and magnetic properties are reported. All of the compounds crystallize in the hexagonal Zr6CoAs2-type structure at room temperature, but low temperature x-ray diffraction measurements on the Co-doped samples Tb6Fe0.750Co0.250Bi2 and Tb6Fe0.625Co0.375Bi2 show a splitting of the Bragg peaks, indicating a symmetry lowering structural phase transition at similar to 40 K. Two magnetic transitions are observed, with T-C1 similar to 250 K and T-C2 similar to 70 K. While the high temperature transition corresponds to the ferromagnetic ordering of the Tb moments, the lower transition is most likely linked to the structural transition.
