In this work, the structural, magnetic, thermal, and transport properties of the arc-melted polycrystalline Heusler alloy Co2Ti1.5Sn0.5 are investigated. The alloy crystallizes in an L21 structure with a space group of Fm-3m. The magnetic properties of the alloy depict its antiferromagnetic nature and the alloy exhibits magnetic ordering around Neel Temperature TN = 8.5 K. The effective magnetic moment value obtained from the Curie –Weiss law suggests that the cobalt atom in the alloy is in the low-spin state. From the heat capacity studies, the Sommerfeld coefficient and Debye temperature were determined. In addition, electrical resistivity shows a linear response with increasing temperature, indicating the metallic nature of the alloy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
