Abstract
The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the intermediate compound Nd3Co13B2 have been investigated by x-ray diffraction and magnetic measurement. Nd3Co13B2 is a member of homologous series Rm+1Co5m+3B2 with m=2. It adopts the hexagonal La3Ni13B2-type structure with lattice parameters a=5.0722(4) Å and c=10.7840(5) Å. The Nd3Co13B2 compound is ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature of 420 K. Its saturation magnetic moment and anisotropy field are 20.8 μB/f.u. and 163 kOe at 1.5 K, respectively.
