Abstract

The Mo2B2Fe-type intermetallic compounds Gd2Cu2In and Gd2Cu2Mg form a complete set of solid solutions Gd2Cu2In1-xMgx. The a lattice parameter, the Weiss constant and the Curie temperature increase with increasing magnesium content in an almost Vegard-like manner, while the c parameter remains almost constant. All members of the solid solutions show ferromagnetism with T(C)s between 114 and 80 K.
