Abstract
We studied the temperature versus concentration (T-x) phase diagram in Cu1-xMgxGeO3 by susceptibility measurements, synchrotron X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction and the first-order phase transition between dimerizedantiferromagnetic and uniform-antiferromagnetic phases reported by Masuda et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80 (1998) 4566] was established. We found that the T-x phase diagram of Cu1-xMxGeO3 (M = Zn,Ni) is similar to that of Cu1-xMgxGeO3, while that of CuGe1-xSixO3 is qualitatively different.
