Abstract:
The magnetovolume and magnetic properties of RCo4B (R - Y, Ce, Gd) compounds under
pressure up to 12kbar have been studied. We determined the volume dependencies of Curie temperatures,
magnetization, spin reorientation transitions (for YCo4B), first-order magnetization process (for
monocrystalline GdCo4B) and also the pressure induced changes of the volume anomaly connected with the
isostructural phase transition of CeCo4B. The results have been used to analyze the influence of rare-earth
atoms on the volume dependencies of exchange interactions and magnetic anisotropy of RCo4B compounds.
