Abstract

Abstract 151Eu Mossbauer studies and magnetic susceptibility measurements of novel ternary europium pnictides LiEuPn (Pn=P, As, Sb, Bi) have shown that the majority of europium atoms is divalent in these materials and that there is magnetic ordering at low temperatures. For the four compounds with TiNiSi structure, from Pn=P to Bi, the EuEu distances increase and ferromagnetic couplings decrease in favour of antiferromagnetism. The magnetic flux density of the hyperfine field at 151Eu is proportional to the isomer shift. Its temperature dependence cannot be explained in terms of a simple molecular field model.
