Abstract

We report here our results on a new intermetallic compound, EuAgSn. X-ray diffraction studies of the material show that it forms in the orthorhombic-type structure. Magnetic susceptibility results show that the material orders magnetically at ~6.5 K. The temperature dependence of the paramagnetic susceptibility follows a Curie-Weiss behaviour with an effective moment close to that of the free Eu2+ ion. 151Eu and 119Sn Mössbauer studies confirm the magnetic ordering. The 151Eu isomer shift ~-11 mm/s) is consistent with the stable divalent state of Eu in this material.
