The structural and magnetic properties of the ThCrSi-type solid solution LaMn(GeSi) (x = 0.0 to 1.0) have been investigated employing a combination of X-ray diffraction, magnetization and neutron diffraction measurements, which allowed establishing a magnetic composition-temperature phase diagram. Substitution of Ge by Si leads to a compression of the unit cell, which affects the magnetic exchange interactions. In particular, the magnetic structure of LaMn(GeSi) is strongly affected by the unit cell parameter c, which is related to the distance between adjacent Mn layers. Commensurate antiferromagnetic layers and a canted ferromagnetic structure dominate the Si-rich part of the solid solution, whilst an incommensurate antiferromagnetic flat spiral and a conical magnetic structure are observed in the Si-poor part.
采用X射线衍射、磁化强度和中子衍射测量相结合的方法,对ThCrSi型固溶体LaMn(GeSi)(x = 0.0至1.0)的结构和磁性进行了研究,从而建立了磁性成分-温度相图。用Si取代Ge会导致晶胞压缩,这会影响磁交换相互作用。特别是,LaMn(GeSi)的磁结构受晶胞参数c的强烈影响,该参数与相邻Mn层之间的距离有关。在富Si的固溶体部分,相称反铁磁层和倾斜铁磁结构占主导地位,而在贫Si部分则观察到非相称反铁磁平面螺旋和锥形磁结构。
