Structure and magnetic properties of TbM6-xVxSn6 compounds

In the present work, the influence of substitution of V for Mn on the structure and magnetic properties of TbMn 6-x V x Sn 6 compounds has been investigated. The lattice constants, the Curie and spin-reorientation temperatures, the anisotropy field and the saturation magnetization have been determined as a function of the V content.
