摘要： The influence of Ga or Si substitution for Co on the structural and magnetic properties of Pr2Co17 compounds is investigated. All samples studied here are single phase and have the rhombohedral Th2Zn17-type structure. The unit-cell volume is found to increase linearly by the substitution of Ga for Co,but reduce by the substitution of Si for Co in Pr2Co17 compounds. In Pr2Co17-x Mx, the Curie temperature decreases monoto nically with increasing at an approximate rate of 153K per Ga atom and 175K per Si atom. The saturation magnetic moment of Pr2Co17-x Mx ( M=Ga,Si) decreases with increasing x. The rates of the decrease are larger than that expected as a simple dilution. For Pr2Co17-xSix ,the spin reorientation transition is observed above room temperature. The spin-reorientation temperature Tsrfirst decreases with increasing Si content and then increases at higher x values (x>2). The spin reorientat ion behavior is interpreted by the competition between the Pr and Co sublattice anisotropies. The easy magnetization direction in Pr2Co17-xGax compounds is perpendicular to the c-axis, and no spin reorientation transition is observed.
