Synthesis of Ferromagnetic Alloys of the InSb–Ni2 – yMnSb System (y = 0; 1)
摘要
Abstract
Composite alloys of the InSb–Ni2 – yMnSb system (y = 0, 1) have been synthesized. According to X-ray powder diffraction data, all samples contained a ferromagnetic phase based on the NiMnSb compound in the form of nano-sized inclusions and agglomerates with characteristic sizes of 50–90 nm and Curie temperature Tc = 727–732 K. The absence of the Ni2MnSb phase in sample (InSb)100 – x(Ni2MnSb)x (x = 5) indicates its instability when alloyed with InSb.
