The structure and magnetic properties of Gd2Co17−xAlx compounds were investigated. All samples have a rhombohedral Th2Zn17-type structure and the replacement of Co by Al results in an approximately linear increase in the unit cell volumes at a rate of 8.2 A3/Al. The Curie temperature decreases monotically with the increase of Al concentration. On the basis of magnetization curves at the compensation temperature, the intersublattice-molecular-field coefficient, nRT, and the RT exchange-coupling constant JRT have been determined. It is noteworthy that the substitution of Al has a significant effect on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the Co sublattice, and changes the easy magnetization direction of Gd2Co17−xAlx compounds from the basal plane to the c axis.
