Stannides magnetic properties

The magnetic and transport properties of the ternary stannides have not been investigated to any great extent. Of these, the magnetic properties have been more completely... 

Among these compounds CeNi2Sn2 has been studied the most. The magnetic properties, resistivity and specific heat indicate that this stannide can be classified as a heavy fermion system. 

Magnetic properties of the rest of the RNiSn compounds at 78-300 K were reported by Skolozdra et al. (1984b). The /(T) dependence of the RNiSn compounds, where R=Pr, Nd, Gd-Yb, follows the Curie-Weiss law. The stannides of Y, La, Lu are Pauli paramagnets. 

In this survey the stannides containing rare earths are discussed in the following sequence the systems investigated, the composition and crystallographic data of the compounds, and results of the research on the magnetic and transport properties. An attempt is made to find some regularities in the crystal chemistry and physical properties of the ternary stannides. 

The magnetic and electrical properties of stannides have not been thoroughly studied (especially the electrical ones). The magnetic data are listed in table 3 and transport data are listed in table 4. The stannides of cerium are the most completely investigated of the...
