We report the results of structural and magnetic studies of the alloy series GdAg1−xFex for x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3. The structural study indicates that this alloy is not single phase for all values of x, but rather consists of three phases: the cubic disordered (A2) GdAg phase, the hexagonal α-Gd phase, and the cubic (MgCu2-type) GdFe2 phase. The magnetic measurements confirm the existence of these phases. The Néel temperature for the GdAg phase is TN≈140 K, the Curie temperature for the α-Gd phase is TC≈300 K, and the Curie temperature for the GdFe2 phase is TC≈820 K.
