description

We report the magnetic properties of the cobalt molybdenum η-carbide-type compounds Co 3 Mo 3 C and Co 3 Mo 3 N. The magnetic susceptibility χ of Co 3 Mo 3 C shows a Curie–Weiss temperature dependence at high temperatures and a broad maximum at around 100 K, whereas that of Co 3 Mo 3 N shows a nearly temperature-independent enhanced Pauli paramagnetic behavior. The absence of a magnetic long-range order was confirmed by the nuclear magnetic resonance technique in both the compounds. As expected from the broad maximum of χ, we observed an itinerant electron metamagnetic transition at around 37 T in Co 3 Mo 3 C.
