Abstract
The RRh3B2 (R=La to Gd) compounds crystallize in the hexagonal CeCo3B3 type structure. The unit cell volume of EuRh3B2 follows the usual lanthanide contraction, indicating that Eu is in a trivalent state (electronic configuration 4f6; 7F0) and hence is nonmagnetic. Magnetization studies on EuRh3B2, however, reveal that this compound orders magnetically with Curie temperature of 40 K and a moment of 0.55 μB per formula unit at 4.2 K and 20 kOe applied field. The magnetism is presumed to be of the itinerant type arising from the Rh d band. Possibly the Eu 4f electrons also play a significant role.
