Electronically Induced Ferromagnetic Transitions in Sm5Ge4-Type Magnetoresponsive Phases
Abstract
The correlation between magnetic and structural transitions in Gd(5)Si(x)Ge(4-x) hampers the studies of valence electron concentration (VEC) effects on magnetism. Such studies require decoupling of the VEC-driven changes in the magnetic behavior and crystal structure. The designed compounds, Gd(5)GaSb(3) and Gd(5)GaBi(3), adopt the same Sm(5)Ge(4)-type structure as Gd(5)Ge(4) while the VEC increases from 31 e(-)/formula in Gd(5)Ge(4) to …
