Abstract:A method for producing manganese bismuthide has been investigated where in the manganese and bismuth are first “dissolved” in mercury by heating at atmospheric pressure. The mercury is subsequently vacuum distilled at a low temperature, leaving a strongly ferromagnetic residue of MnBi. The MnBi prepared by this method was shown to be identical with that prepared by other methods. X-ray diffraction showed only lines that could be attributed to MnBi. In addition, the lattice constants agreed with those reported … Show more
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.
