Abstract

We studied Rux Fe1-x (x = 0.30, 0.50, and 0.75), Rh0.75Fe0.25, and Rh0.25,Fe0.75 alloys in order to investigate how the electronic structures and the magnetic properties of those alloys changed depending on the crystallographic structures; e.g., hep, fee, and bcc. Magnetization and ac susceptibility measurements showed that Rh0.25Fe0.75 (bcc) was ferromagnetic even at room temperature while Rh0.75Fe0.25 (fcc) was weakly antiferromagnetic with TN ≃ 80 K. On the other hand, Ru0.30Fe0.70 (hcp) was antiferromagnetic below about 130 K while RuxFe1-x with x = 0.50 and 0.75 (both hcp) remained paramagnetic down to 5 K. From the Fe 3d partial spectra obtained using the Cooper minimum phenomena of the Ru 4d and the Rh 4d bands, we found that the Fe 3d partial spectra were almost the same for all the alloys, regardless of the different structures and the magnetic ground states.
