Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the magnetic properties of rare earth-Cu 2
compounds. The chapter focuses on rare-earth intermetallic compounds, the RT 2 (R= rare …

NdCu 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic CeCu 2 structure. Using temperature dependent X-
ray diffraction the variations of the lattice parameters with temperature have been measured …

The magnetism of iron and other transition metals had been a subject of inten sive research
for a long time, but the understanding of the microscopic origin of" metallic magnetism" was …

Ferromagnetic compounds of the series Er x Y 1-x Co 2 (x= 1, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6) have been
investigated in specific-heat, thermal-expansion, magnetisation, AC susceptibility and …

Magnetic nanoparticles exhibit two different local symmetry environments, one ascribed to
the core and one corresponding to the nanoparticle surface. This implies the existence of a …

The magnetocaloric effect of the rare-earth intermetallic compound DyCu2 is explored
through magnetization measurements. DyCu2 is paramagnetic at the room temperature but …
