Abstract

Measurements of magnetization in static fields up to 60 kOe and magnetic susceptibility in weak ac fields of the Y(Ni1−x Mx)3 and Y2(Ni1−x Mx)7 intermetallics (M=Fe and Cu, x max=0.2), as well of the specific heat of these systems for some compositions are reported. It was found that these intermetallics are ferromagnetic at low temperature, and that their spontaneous magnetizations M s at 4.2 K and Curie temperatures T C decrease monotonically with increasing copper concentration. The magnetic susceptibility of the Y(Ni1−x Fex)3 system with 0.06≲x≲0.2 was observed to decrease rapidly with the temperature lowered below a characteristic temperature T s. One of possible reasons for such an anomaly is shown to be the onset in this concentration region of the reentrant spin-glass state at low temperatures. The results obtained demonstrate that the tight-binding d-band model fails to explain the evolution of the magnetic properties of YNi3 and Y2Ni7 in the case of small substitutions of iron and copper for nickel.
