Abstract
ScFe2 crystallizes in the hexagonal C‐14 Laves phase. Magnetic measurements performed in the temperature range 4‐600 K reveal that the sample orders ferromagnetically with a Curie temperature of 545 K. Saturation magnetization measurements performed at 4.2 K yield a value of 2.9 μB per formula unit of ScFe2. The easy axis of magnetization was determined by examining the changes in the intensities of x‐ray pattern on aligning a powder at room temperature in a field of 20 kOe. This was found to be along the c‐axis. Mössbauer pattern at room temperature exhibits a magnetic hyperfine interaction with a complex spectrum.Keywords
