Abstract
Different samples of nominal composition Er2 − xYxBaNiO5 (0 ≤ x ≤ 2) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. These oxides, which are isostructural, crystallize with orthorhombic symmetry, space group Immm. The linear increase observed in the lattice parameters with increasing values of x is due to the larger ionic radius of the Y3+ ion compared with the Er3+ ion.
The magnetic susceptibility in all cases obeys Curie-Weiss behavior between 300 K and 40 K. The magnetic moments obtained agree fairly well with those expected for the only contribution of Er3+ which confirms the strong antiferromagnetic interactions Ni-O(2)-Ni along the a-axis which we reported earlier for the one-dimensional Y2BaNiO5. The three-dimensional antiferromagnetic interactions operative in the undoped Er2BaNiO5 are slightly diminished in the substituted Er2 − xYxBaNiO5, as can be deduced from evolution of Tχmax for these samples.
