Abstract

In Y(Co_1-xGa_x)₂ quasi-binary compounds, the metamagnetic transition magnetic field becomes lower with increasing x, and the weak itinerant-electron ferromagnetic state is established in analogy with Y(Co_1-xAl_x)₂. The magnetic moment and the Curie temperature are smaller than those of Y(Co _1-xAl_x)₂. On the other hand, no evidence of onset of the ferromagnetic state was confirmed in Y(Co _1-xSi_x)₂ compounds with below x=0.15. The difference in the lattice expansion depending on the substitutional elements brings about the difference in the 3d-band narrowing and the onset of ferromagnetic state.
