Abstract:The magnetic properties of Sm2Fe17-xAlx(x=0, 1, 2, 3) compounds and their hydrides are systematically investigated. The results reveal that all compounds have the Th2Zn17-type structure. As the content of Al increases, the Curie temperature of Sm2(Fe,Al) 17compounds increases, and their saturation magnetization decreases. It is first discovered that the Curie temperatures of the hydrides of Sm2(Fe,Al) 17 compounds measured from heating process are higher than those measured from cooling process, and their difference is denoted asΔT*c. The correlation betweenΔT*cand the structural stability of Sm2(Fe,Al) 17com- pounds as well as their corresponding hydrides is discussed.
Key words: Sm2Fe17 Al hydride Curie temperature structural stability
