Abstract
The influence of Cr substitution by various metals (M=V, Mn, Fe, Cu and Al) on the magnetic state of the itinerant intermetallics La(Cr,M)Sb3 was studied by magnetization and magnetic susceptibility measurements up to 55 kG at 5 K and from 4.2 to 400 K, in a magnetic field of 1000 G, respectively. It was found that the Curie temperature (TC) and magnetization (M) of these compounds depend nonlinearly on the concentration, remaining in the vicinity of the values of TC and M measured for LaCrSb3. Curie temperatures and magnetization values at 55 kG are suppressed by Mn, Fe, V, and Cu, and have a slight maximum at low Al concentration (about 5%).
