Abstract

We present the results of Rietveld analysis on the neutron diffraction intensities of Er2Fe17, which crystallizes in the hexagonal Th2Ni17 phase. Of the reflection sets, h-k ≠ 3n, l = 2n+1 and l = 2n, the former fit better than the latter and are in general more intense. This suggests disordered transition-metal-substitution on the planes parallel to the c-axis resulting in stacking faults; ABABs... is the usual sequence of ordered transition-metalsubstitutions in the parent CaCu5 phase. Influence of such deformations on the interatomic distances inthe substitution zone and the consequent magnetic bonding and anisotropy is discussed.
