Abstract: Structure and magnetic properties of YCo12-xTix and YFe12-xTix compounds have been investigated by using X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. It was found that all compounds investigated are almost single phase with the ThMn 12-type structure. X-ray diffraction patterns of magnetically aligned powder samples indicate that the easy magnetization directions(EMD) of YCo12-xTix and YFe12-xTix compounds are along the c-axis at room temperature. The lattice parameters increase monotonically with increasing Ti component for all the compounds investigated. The Curie temperature T c decreases monotonically with increasing Ti component for YCo12-xTix, while Tc of YFe12-xTix is almost independent of Ti component. The saturation magnetization M s decreases with increasing Ti component for both systems. The anisotropy field Ha of YCo12-xTix and YFe12-xTix compounds decreases monotonically with increasing Ti component, which can be understood in terms of a two-sublattice model of anisotropy.
