Abstract

The authors report on the crystal and magnetic structure determination of ThFe11Cx. The positions of the metal atoms correspond to the BaCd11 type of structure. The carbon atoms occupy octahedral sites formed by four iron and two thorium atoms. Compounds having carbon concentrations x=1.5 and 2 were found in order magnetically between 400 and 500 K. Low-temperature neutron diffraction experiments provide evidence of a ferromagnetic structure with moments oriented perpendicular to the c axis whereas at room temperature the magnetic moments appear to be aligned parallel to the c axis of the tetragonal structure.
