Powder neutron diffraction measurements of the magnetic and structural properties of a
range of pseudobinary Ce (Fe 1-x M x) 2 intermetallic compounds, with M= Al, Co, Ru, are …

Magnetic field-induced transitions (metamagnetic transitions) play an important role in
defining functionality of various classes of magnetic materials. Rare earth manganites …

Magnetic circular x-ray dichroism (MCXD) studies at L 2, 3 absorption edges in intermediate-
valence (IV) compounds CeFe 2, Ce (Fe 0.8 Co 0.2) 2, CeCo 5, Ce 2 Co 17, and trivalent 4 f …

Experimental results of magnetization measurements of first-order ferromagnetic-
antiferromagnetic transitions in Ce (Fe 0.96 Ru 0.04) 2 alloy are presented. The metastability …

Ce (Fe 1− x Ga x) 2 compounds with x= 0, 0.01, 0.025, and 0.05 have been investigated to
unravel the effect of Ga on the magnetic state of CeFe 2. We find that the dynamic …

Very sharp magnetization step is observed across the field-induced antiferromagnetic-to-
ferromagnetic transition in various doped Ce Fe 2 alloys, when the measurement is …
