Abstract
Measurements have been made of the Curie points and magnetic moments of three series of compounds (Laves phases) , , and , where is a rare-earth element. The Curie point is highest (85°K) for the compounds containing Gd and falls away when the rare earths have larger or smaller atomic numbers. This dependence of Curie point on the rare-earth element is in accord with the idea that the principal exchange interaction is between the spins of the shell of the rare-earth ions and the conduction electrons. The magnetic moments are closely related to, but differ somewhat from, the values of for the trivalent ions of .
