Abstract

Tb₆Fe_1-xCo_xBi₂ (x 0, 0.125, 0.250, 0.375) compounds have been synthesized, and the structural and magnetic properties are reported. All of the compounds crystallize in the hexagonal Zr₆CoAs₂-type structure at room temperature, but low temperature x-ray diffraction measurements on the Co-doped samples Tb ₆Fe_0.750Co_0.250Bi₂ and Tb ₆Fe_0.625Co_0.375Bi₂ show a splitting of the Bragg peaks, indicating a symmetry lowering structural phase transition at ∼40 K. Two magnetic transitions are observed, with T_C1 ∼ 250 K and T_C2 ∼ 70 K. While the high temperature transition corresponds to the ferromagnetic ordering of the Tb moments, the lower transition is most likely linked to the structural transition.
