dc.description.abstractEn | Neutron powder diffraction experiments have been carried out on the hexagonal ternary silicides Nd<sub>6</sub>Co<sub>1.67</sub>Si<sub>3</sub> and Tb<sub>6</sub>Co<sub>1.67</sub>Si<sub>3</sub> in order to determine their magnetic structures. These compounds exhibit two successive ferromagnetic transitions at <i>T</i><sub>C</sub> = 84 K and <i>T</i><sub>1</sub> = 40 K for Nd<sub>6</sub>Co<sub>1.67</sub>Si<sub>3</sub> and at <i>T</i><sub>C</sub> = 186 K and <i>T</i><sub>1</sub> = 171 K for Tb<sub>6</sub>Co<sub>1.67</sub>Si<sub>3</sub>. Single-crystal x-ray diffraction and specific heat measurements have been realized on Tb<sub>6</sub>Co<sub>1.67</sub>Si<sub>3</sub> in order to complete its characterization. Neutron diffraction investigation at 1.5 K reveals for both compounds a canted ferromagnetic structure with a propagation vector <b><i>k</i></b> = (0 0 0). The Nd moment values are, respectively, equal to μ<sub>1</sub> = 2.06(10)μ<sub>B</sub> and μ<sub>2</sub> = 3.14(9)μ<sub>B</sub> for Nd1 and Nd2 atoms whereas Tb1 and Tb2 atoms carry a magnetic moment of μ<sub>1</sub> = 7.9(2)μ<sub>B</sub> and μ<sub>2</sub> = 8.9(2)μ<sub>B</sub> in Tb<sub>6</sub>Co<sub>1.67</sub>Si<sub>3</sub>. Moreover, a transition from a canted ferromagnet to a pure ferromagnet occurs at <i>T</i><sub>1</sub> = 40 K in Nd<sub>6</sub>Co<sub>1.67</sub>Si<sub>3</sub> while a spin reorientation of the non-collinear ferromagnetic structure occurs at <i>T</i><sub>1</sub> = 171 K for Tb<sub>6</sub>Co<sub>1.67</sub>Si<sub>3</sub>. These magnetic structures are discussed on the basis of the atomic disorder existing for Co atoms in these ternary silicides around the Nd1 and Tb1 atoms. | |
