Notes:
A study on the exchange interaction in R2Fe17 compounds (R represents the heavy rare earth elements) has been performed by means of a mean-field analysis of the high-field magnetization curves, which were measured on the powder samples. Measurements have been carried out on R2Fe17-based quasiternary R2Fe17−xMx compounds with R=Dy, Ho, and Er, M=Al, Ga, and Si. It has been found that the value of the exchange coupling constant decreases with increasing atomic number of R ion of the compound. This behavior is explained by the varying 4f–5d hybridization in the compounds. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
