Abstract
Several members of the ThMn12 type compounds RFe12−xMx with R=Y Gd, Er, Sm; M=V, Mo, Ti, W, Si were studied with57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. For GdFe10Mo2 and YFe10V2 NMR spectra at 4.2 K were also taken. The spectra were analyzed by taking into account the preferential distribution of the M atoms over the 3 crystallographic sites available for both Fe and M atoms in the ThMn12 lattice. A binomial distribution was used for calculating the probability of the possible nearest neighbor configurations of the Fe atoms, leading to fits with up to 4 separate subspectra for each of the 3 crystallographic sites 8i, 8j, and 8f which provided a consistent description of the experimental data. A spin reorientation transition was found for ErFe10V2 in the temperature range 4.2 K-77 K.
