Abstract
The spin reorientation temperatures of Dy1âx SmxFe10Si2 compounds with x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6 and 1.0 were investigated using dc magnetization measurements in the temperature range from 5 to 350Â K. The spin reorientation (SR) temperature was observed to drop gradually from 255 to 52Â K as Sm content was increased from x=0 to 0.4. No SR temperature was observed for x>0.4. Magnetization measurements using vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) were carried out from room temperature to 650Â K to determine the dependence of the Curie temperature on Sm content. The Curie temperatures shifted to higher values as the Sm content was increased. X-ray powder diffraction studies revealed that the substitution of Sm for Dy leads to an increase in the lattice parameter a and the unit cell volume V while the lattice parameter c remained constant.
