Abstract
We report the structure and magnetic properties of Pr1−xHoxMn2Ge2 (0.0≤x≤1.00.0≤x≤1.0) germanides by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques and AC magnetic susceptibility measurements. All compounds crystallize in the ThCr2Si2-type structure with the space group I4/mmmI4/mmm. Substitution of Ho for Pr leads to a linear decrease in the lattice constants and the unit cell volume. The samples with x=0x=0 and x=0.8x=0.8 have spin reorientation temperature. The results are collected in a phase diagram.
