The subject of the investigations were quasibinary Sc(Fe1-xCux)2 Laves phases in which structural and magnetic properties depend on replacement of Fe atoms by Cu atoms. Powder X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction measurements carried out at room temperature revealed that samples were a mixture of two phases: the quasibinary Sc(Fe1-xCux)2 compounds with cubic C15 structure and ScCu2 with tetragonal structure. 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy revealed that the Sc(Fe1-xCux)2 compounds are ferrimagnetic up to an actual concentration xact less than 0.30. A decreasing of mean values of hyperfine magnetic fields was observed. On the basis of analysis of the neutron diffraction spectra the mean values of Fe magnetic moments were determined, considering the component connected with the quasibinary Sc(Fe1-xCux)2 phases. These moments change from 1.45(29) �ĘB in the Sc(Fe0.92Cu0.08)2 to 1.18(32)mi B in Sc(Fe0.72Cu0.28)2 phase at 8 K. From the results of independent hyperfine magnetic field on 57Fe probes and magnetic Fe moments measurements, the hyperfine coupling constant in quasibinary ferrimagnetic Sc(Fe1.xCux)2 phases is estimated as equal to 13 T/mi B at room temperature.
