Abstract

The variation of the antiferromagnetic (AF) transition temperature, TN, in an isostructural series of rare-earth borocarbide compounds, RNi 2B 2C, was investigated in terms of the crystalline electric field (CEF) model. In spite of a strong magnetic anisotropy, the values of TN were observed to apparently follow a de Gennes scaling behavior, and that feature could be qualitatively understood in the CEF scheme.
