Metamagnetic-transition-induced giant magnetoresistance inMn2Sb1x

Abstract: In Mn 2 Sb 1Ϫx Sn x (0Ͻxр0.4) compounds, a metamagnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to ferrimagnetic can be induced by an external field, with which a giant magnetoresistance ͑GMR͒ effect is associated. The largest GMR ratio of 60% for Mn 2 Sb 0.85 Sn 0.15 is achieved at 142 K at a field of 5 T. The field dependence of GMR and the magnetization of Mn 2 Sb 0.6 Sn 0.4 confirm that the field-induced metamagnetic transition gives rise to the GMR effect in the system. The origin of the GMR effect is discussed… Show more

“…A magnetoresistance of −13.5% was observed in the alloy for a field change of 5 T (see inset of figure 10). The resistivity curves as a function of temperature in the Ni 50 Mn 25+x Sb 25−x system are very similar to those observed in Mn 2 Sb 1−x Sn x and other metamagnetic systems, where an abrupt increase of electrical resistivity below the AF ordering temperature occurs due to a large decrease of the density of states (DOS) near the Fermi level [33][34][35][36]. Therefore it is possible that the martensitic transformation in the Ni 50 Mn 25+x Sb 25−x system is accompanied by an antiferromagnetic transition.…”

“…The GMR values in the Zn and Ni-doped samples rank among the largest ever observed in 3d GMR systems, such as FM shape memory alloys Ni 50 Mn 50−x In x (x = 14-16) (MR∼ 70% at 50 kOe) [42] and Mn 2 Sb 1−x Sn x (0 < x ≤ 0.4) (60% at 50 kOe). [43] Our result proves that the chemical substitution can be employed to effectively optimize the MR effect in GaCMn 3 . However, the underlying mechanisms are still not well understood.…”

“…The structural as well as the magnetic phases can be tuned by external parameters such as magnetic field (H) or pressure (P) in addition to temperature (T). This, in association with the inherent disorder of the sample, can give rise to magnetic and electronic states which strongly depend upon the previous history of T, H or P [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
