Özet
The structure and magnetic properties of La1-xTbxMn2Si2 (0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.3) were studied by X-ray powder diffraction and DC magmetization measurements. All the compounds crystallize in ThCr2Si2-type structure. Substitution of Tb for La led to a linear decrease in the lattice constants and the unit-cell volume. A ferromag,netic phase for x less than or equal to 0. 15, and an anti ferromagnetic phase for x = 0.3 have been observed at about room temperature. whereas the compounds with x = 0.2 and 0.25 exhibit a magnetic phase transition from ferromagnetism to antiferromagnetism.
