Abstract
Polycrystalline, Dy0.5Gd4.5Si2Ge2 compound (monoclinic, space group P21/a) has been synthesized and characterized. This compound orders ferromagnetically at â¼210Â K (TC) followed by an antiferromagnetic-like transition at â¼21Â K (TN). The electrical resistivity, Ï, follows T2 law in the ferromagnetically ordered state indicating the presence of dominant single magnon scattering. There is a pronounced increase of resistivity in the vicinity of antiferromagnetic transition. Thermoelectric power, S, indicates a slope change near TC and has T3 dependence at low temperatures.
