Spin-reorientation phenomena in (TbxEr1−x)TiFe11 systems have been studied over the temperature range from 20 to 1000 K using susceptibility measurement. In this alloy series, lattice constants, both a and c, increase with increasing x, as expected lanthanide contraction. For x<0.5, were found exhibit axial-to-conical spin-reorientation transitions Tsr decrease x. However, for x≳0.5, be axial-to-planar, on cooling, increases The magnetic phase diagram of has constructed.
