Abstract

We report magnetic properties of Cd₆RE (RE= Tb, Sm) single-grained crystalline approximants. Magnetic susceptibilities show that various long-range magnetic orders occur at low temperatures for the compounds made of RE icosahedra: Cd₆Tb shows three types of antiferromagnetic orders with temperature and Cd₆Sm exhibits also three types of magnetic orders with temperature, i.e., one antiferromagnetic and two types of ferrimagnetic orders.
