Abstract

The solid solutions in the systems (MnMg)Gd2S4 and (MnMg)Yb2S4 have the cubic Th3P4 (space group I43d) and the cubic spinel (space group Fd3m) structure, respectively. All materials are paramagnetic above 77 K. The spinel (higher symmetry) family shows a downward curvature to the origin below 60 K. The Th3P4 family exhibits two differing behaviors: for x = 0,1 the Curie-Weiss law is obeyed down to 4.2 K; for 0 < x < 1 some magnetic ordering is observed.
