Growth of magnetic moments in heavy rare-earth metals and their alloys due to samarium impurities
Kondorskii E.I. , Galkina O.S., Lazareva L.V.
Small additions of Sm from 0.2 to 2 at.% to heavy, rare-earth metals Ho, Dy, and Tb and also to their binary alloys increase the average magnetic moments μ1 and //eff, of the alloy atom. This effect is attributable to an increase in polarization of the conduction electrons in such systems.
