Abstract
We studied magnetism of SrScOCoAs, a member of the group of layered compound with CoAs conducting layers, by using successfully synthesized polycrystalline sample. As a result of magnetic and electric resistivity measurements, SrScOCoAs was revealed to be an itinerant electronic ferromagnet with the Curie temperature 48 K. We discussed the magnetism of this compound within the spin fluctuation theory for three-dimensional itinerant electronic ferromagnets in the ordered state and also pointed out possible quasi-two-dimensional behavior observed in magnetism.
