The magnetic properties of 53 aluminium-rich intermetallic compounds R6T4Al43 with R=rare-earth elements and T=Ti, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W were investigated using polycrystalline samples and a SQUID magnetometer in the temperature range from 2 to 300 K with magnetic flux densities up to 5.5 T. The yttrium and lutetium compounds are Pauli paramagnetic, indicating that the transition metal atoms do not carry magnetic moments. The samarium compounds show van Vleck behavior and antiferromagnetic order with Néel temperatures of less than 12 K. Of these Sm6Ti4Al43 becomes metamagnetic. The ytterbium compounds show a mixed or intermediate valent behavior and no magnetic order down to 2 K. All other compounds obey the Curie–Weiss law above 30 K. Their effective magnetic moments correspond to the theoretical moments of the rare-earth ions. They show ferromagnetic or metamagnetic behavior with ordering temperatures all below 20 K. The magnetization curves of most compounds (recorded up to 5.5 T) reach about 50% of the theoretical magnetization already at 0.5 T. The gadolinium compounds are exceptional in that they reach at 0.5 T only about 10% of their theoretical magnetization. The crystal structures of the isotypic compounds Yb6V4Al43 and Yb6Ta4Al43 were refined from single-crystal X-ray data.
