Description

Neutron powder diffraction, magnetization and ac susceptibility measurements were performed on compounds of the series RFe12−xMox (R D Y and Ho, x D 1, 2, 3). The influence of the Mo content on both structural and magnetic properties is discussed. Comparison with published data for different Mo concentrations is made. It is found that the effect of Mo substitution for Fe on structural and magnetic properties can be described by two regimes separated by a critical Mo content around x=2.
