Resumo

We report the magnetic properties of the Y -doped GdNiSi3 intermetallic compound, prepared by Sn-flux method and investigated by susceptibility, magnetization and heat capacity measurements. The results indicate that the antiferromagnetic structure of GdNiSi3 is altered by Y concentration allowing that the coexistence between antiferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic state takes place under slight changes in the strong RKKY interaction. This is confirmed by supercell first -principles calculations using Density Functional Theory along with a Hubbard U parameter (DFT+U). The emerging ferrimagnetic order creates the necessary conditions for the existence of strong exchange anisotropy interaction responsible by the exchange bias effect in Gd0.50Y0.50NiSi3 and Gd0.35Y0.65NiSi3 single crystal.
