Substitutional solid solutions Mn1-xFexNiGe (0.05≤x≤1.00) were synthesized. The crystal structure in the temperature range of 20 - 300 K has been studied by X-ray and neutron diffraction. At T = 200 K, a phase transformation from a hexagonal structure of the Ni2In type to an orthorhombic structure (S.G. Pnma) has been observed. The magnetic properties of these compounds were also investigated in the temperature range of 5 - 300 K and external magnetic fields up to 10 T. The temperature of the "magnetic order - magnetic disorder" phase transformation was found to decrease from 272 to 132 K with an increase in concentration x from 5 to 30 mol%.
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.
