Magnetic order of the La3NiGe2-type Tb3NiSi2
Abstract
The novel Tb3NiSi2 phase adopts the La3NiGe2-type structure (Pnma, N 62, oP24). According to the thermal dependence of the magnetization measurements in 100Oe applied field, Tb3NiSi2 undergoes a ferromagnetic-like transition at 135K and a spin-orientation transition at 53K. Based on the neutron diffraction studies in a zero applied field, Tb3NiSi2 shows four types of mixed ferromagnetic–antiferromagnetic ordering below ~130K, 82K, 66K and 53K. …
