Abstract

The magnetic properties of the ( Gd x Zr 1-x)2 CoAl 3 system were investigated in the 4–700 K temperature range and fields up to 70 kOe. The systems seem to be ferrimagnetically ordered. In the ordered state, the Co moments opposite to the gadolinium ones have very low values. The paramagnetic properties evidence over a characteristic temperature T*, a Curie–Weiss type behavior and the presence of the effective magnetic moments on Co atoms. The paramagnetic behavior of cobalt is analyzed in the spin fluctuations model.
