Abstract

Results of the molar magnetic susceptibility (χm) measurements of heavy rare-earth (RE) molybdates of the type RE2 (MoO4)3 with RE = Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Yb are reported in the temperature range 3 to 300 K at a magnetic field of 3.2X105 Am−1. All molybdates show ferrimagnetic behaviour with ferrimagnetic Néel temperatures lying in the range 15 to 24 K. Evaluated magneton numbers agree fairly well with those for free tripositive rare-earth ions. Various magnetic parameters are evaluated using appropriate models.
