Magnetic Structure of NdCoNi Laves Phases

This experiment aims to investigate materials for magnetocaloric hydrogen liquefaction. We plan to explore the effect of Ni addition in NdCo2 (NdCo2-xNix) on the structural properties using low-temperature x-ray diffraction. The purpose of the experiments is to determine the structural properties of the materials below and above their magnetic transition temperature. The main goal is to understand the structural deformation present at low temperatures for NdCo2-xNix.
