MAGNETIC AND ELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF R2Fe17COMPOUNDS STUDIED BY MEANS OF THE MÖSSBAUER EFFECT

Abstract
The magnetic and electric properties of the R2Fe17 compounds (R = rare earth, yttrium, or thorium) have been studied by using the Mössbauer effect. In the magnetically ordered state all these intermetallic compounds except for Tm2Fe17 have a basal plane anisotropy. This last compound has a c-axis anisotropy at 4 K and most likely an a-axis anisotropy at 80 K
