MAGNETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MnNi1_xFexGe (0,10 ≤ х ≤0,25) ALLOYS
Abstract
Magnetic characteristics of MnNi1_xFexGe alloys are studied in the concentration region 0,10 ≤ х ≤0,25. It is shown that all samples under study are ferromagnetics at room temperature and have the Ni2In-type of the crystal structure. At х < 0.20, Fe atoms statistically substitute Mn atoms in Me I and Me II positions of MnNi1_xFexGe. At х ≥ 0.20, Fe atoms replace only Mn in Me I positions and do not replace Ni in Me II positions.
