Laves-phase pseudobinaries a(fe1-xbx)2 (a=zr,hf;b=al,si): some structural and magnetic properties

Abstract

The lattice parameters and the saturation magnetization are measured for the series of intermetallic compounds A(Fe,B)2 A = Zr, Hf and B = Si and Al, with concentrations less than 15%. The magnetization measurements and the lattice parameter behavior are qualitatively discussed.
