Intermetallic compounds of HoMn 6−x Fe x Sn 6 (0≤x≤1.2) were studied by means of field-cooled (FC) and zero-field-cooled (ZFC) magnetization measurements in the temperature range 5K≤T≤600K. The unit cell parameters decrease with the increasing of Fe content. The compounds with x=0 and 0.3 behave ferrimagnetically in the whole temperature range and spin reorientation transition is observed at 200 and 185K, respectively. The x=0.5 and 0.6 compounds show ferrimagnetic–helimagnetic–ferrimagnetic phase transitions with decreasing temperature while the compounds with x=0.9 and 1.2 only show helimagnetic–ferrimagnetic phase transitions. Additionally, for the x=0.6 compound the metamagnetic phase transition from helimagnetism to ferrimagnetism is induced by an applied field 20kOe.
