Abstract

The magnetic properties and magnetic structures of PrMn2-xFexGe2 compounds (space group I4/mmm) have been investigated using magnetic, 57Fe Mössbauer effect (x=1.0, 1.3, 1.6) and neutron diffraction measurements (x=0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.3) over the temperature range 3-410 K. This has enabled the existing magnetic phase diagram for PrMn2-xFexGe2 to be extended from Fe concentration, x=0-1, to the full range x = 0-2 in terms of concentration and dMn-Mn, the intralayer distance.
