Gd-Mg (Gadolinium-Magnesium)
A.A. Nayeb-Hashemi and J.B. Clark
The assessed phase diagram for the Mg-Gd system is taken from [86Man], with
minor changes, and from [77Rok], with review of the experimental data of [
65Jos]. It consists of: (1) the liquid, L; (2) the terminal (Mg) solid
solution, (3) the terminal (aGd) and (bGd) solid solutions; and (4) four
intermetallic compounds (Mg5Gd, Mg3Gd, Mg2Gd, and MgGd). The (Mg) solidus
reported by [77Rok] is not highly accurate and needs to be confirmed.
[86Man] showed the maximum solid solubility of Mg in (bGd) as 36.6 at.% Mg (63.
4 at.% Gd) at 868 C. However, they did not show enough experimental points in
their Mg-Gd phase diagram to justify showing the (aGd)/(aGd) + (bGd) boundary
and the (bGd)/(bGd) + MgGd boundary as solid lines. These boundaries are shown
as dashed lines in the assessed diagram.
In the assessed diagram, the maximum solid solubility of Gd in (Mg) at the
eutectic temperature (548 с 2 C) is shown as 4.53 at.% Gd, and the maximum
solid solubility of Mn in (aGd) at the eutectoid temperature (700 с 2 C) is
shown as >14.1 at.% Mg (<85.9 at.% Gd).
[51Gau], [52Gau], [53Gau], and [54Gau] investigated the magnetic properties of
Mg-Gd alloys and reported that alloys in the composition range 0 to 22.3 at.%
Gd are "purely" paramagnetic, and those in the composition range 26.5 to 100
at.% Gd show marked ferromagnetic properties at low temperatures. The
transition from purely paramagnetic alloys to ferromagnetic alloys was
reported to occur at Mg3Gd (25 at.% Gd) stoichiometry. [52Gau] reported that
alloys of 28.44 to 44.80 at.% Gd have a single Curie point at 102 K (see also [
61Gsc]).
[73Bus], [74Bus], [76Bus1], and [75Ale] investigated the magnetic properties
of MgGd. According to [73Bus], the Curie temperature, TC, of MgGd is 120 K.
The TC was reported as 121 K [74Bus] and 119 K [75Ale]. However, [75Ale]
reported that MgGd has a non-colinear magnetic structure with a ferromagnetic
component. The spontaneous magnetization reaches 4.5 mB at 4.2 K (see also [
80Pie]).
[78Bus1] studied the magnetic properties of Mg2RE compounds in the temperature
range 1.5 to 300 K and the magnetic field of up to 18 kOe. According to [
78Bus1], most of the Mg2RE compounds order ferromagnetically at temperatures "
well below 100 K," except for Mg2La, Mg2Yb, and Mg2Y, which show Pauli
paramagnetism; Mg2Sm and Mg2Eu order antiferromagnetically. The TC of Mg2Gd
was found to be 81 K [78Bus1].
[76Bus2] (see also [78Bus2]) investigated the magnetic properties of Mg3RE
compounds in the temperature range 4 to 300 K, with a magnetic field of up to
18 kOe. Mg3Gd and Mg3Tb were found to order ferromagnetically. The TC for
Mg3Gd is 117 K.
[79Pie] (see also [78Mor]) investigated the specific heat of MgGd and the
contribution of its magnetic behavior to its specific heat. [79Pie] reported
two anomalies in the plot of specific heat vs temperature, one at the TC (119
с 4 K) and another at the ferromagnetic canted structure transition (Tcant =
96 с 2 K). The ferromagnetic canted state transition was reported as 85 с 5 K
from neutron diffraction of a different sample.
