The phase equilibria in the MnGa 2 Tе 4 -MnIn 2 Tе 4 system were experimentally investigated by means of differential thermal analysis and powder X-ray diffraction technique. It was found that this system is quasi-binary and characterized by dystectic and eutectic equilibria and the formation of a wide area of solid solutions based on the starting compounds. The crystal structures of the MnGaInTe 4 and MnIn 2 Tе 4 were refined by the Rietveld method using powder X-ray diffraction data. It was established, that both phases crystallize in the tetragonal system (Space group I-42m). Electron paramagnetic resonance and Raman spectra, as well as the temperature dependences of the electrical conductivity and the Hall effect for the MnGaInTe 4 crystal, were studied.
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.
