Spin Reorientation Studies in Nd$\text{}_{2}$Fe$\text{}_{14-x}$Si$\text{}_{x}$B (0

Nd$\text{}_{2}$Fe$\text{}_{14-x}$Si$\text{}_{x}$B (x=0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) intermetallic compounds were investigated by magnetometry, $\text{}^{57}$Fe Mössbauer effect, electric resistivity, and differential scanning calorimetry mainly in the vicinity of the spin reorientation temperature, T$\text{}_{SR}$. The Curie temperature, T$\text{}_{C}$, and T$\text{}_{SR}$ were determined for different compositions and the spin phase diagram was constructed. $\text{}^{57}$Fe Mössbauer spectra showed noticeable changes in the reorientation region. For temperatures above the transition, the spectra were analysed using 6 Zeeman patterns associated with 6 inequivalent crystal sites in Nd$\text{}_{2}$Fe$\text{}_{14}$B according to site occupations (16k$\text{}_{1}$:16k$\text{}_{2}$:8j$\text{}_{1}$:8j$\text{}_{2}$:4c:4e). In the transition region, 12 subspectra had to be incorporated in the analysis. Electric resistivity measurements showed a typical metallic behaviour with no anomalies in the magnetic transition region. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements revealed broad endothermic two stage peaks around T$\text{}_{SR}$.
