The magnetovolume effects and magnetic anisotropy of the new Ce3(FeTi)29 and Ce3(FeCr)29 compounds have been studied by measuring their linear thermal expansion (LTE), pressure dependence of the Curie temperature Tc, compressibility, and anisotropy field. The value of Tc, its pressure dependence dTc/dp, and anisotropy field HA for the Ce(FeCr)12 phase are also reported. The linear thermal expansion of these compounds exhibits Invar-like behavior with large positive values of the spontaneous magnetostriction at Tc [e.g., ωs(0)≈1.2% in Ce3(FeTi)29]. Different values of the compressibility have been observed in the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic states of Ce3(FeTi)29 (κf=1.25×10−3 kbar−1 and κp=1.12×10−3 kbar−1) in qualitative agreement with the large magnetovolume effect observed in the LTE. Tc for all the phases studied decreases under pressure with initial slopes dTc/dp=−3.75, −3.6, and −2.7 K/kbar for Ce3(FeTi)29, Ce3(FeCr)29, and Ce(FeCr)12, respectively. Two anisotropy fields have been detected in Ce3(FeTi)29 associated with saturation along the b (HA) and c (H′A) axes of the monoclinic structure. The temperature dependence of H′A for Ce3(FeCr)29 and HA for Ce(FeCr)12 is also reported. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
