Physical properties of (Mn1xFex)Si at x 0.15

Abstract: We report results of studying the magnetization, specific heat and thermal expansion of a single crystal with nominal composition (Mn0.85Fe0.15)Si. We found no thermodynamic evidences in favor of a second order phase transition in the 15% Fe substituted MnSi. The trajectory corresponding to the present composition of (MnFe)Si is a critical one, i.e. approaching quantum critical point at lowering temperature, but some properties may feel the cloud of helical fluctuations bordering the phase transition line.

“…These limitations are overcome by chemical pressure, in the form of Fe doping in Mn 1−x Fe x Si. The behaviour of this system resembles that of MnSi under pressure [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] and our magnetization, susceptibility and SANS investigations [28,29] led to the phase diagram shown in Fig. 1.…”

“…1 illustrates a dependence of the lattice parameters of (Mn 1−x Co x )Si on the Co content. Note that the lattice parameter of the material with x ≈ 0.15 − 0.17 reaches the corresponding value for pure MnSi at the quantum phase transition phase point at pressure about 14 kbar 3 .…”

“…The study of quantum criticality in the model substance of MnSi by doping with Fe and Co were carried out in Ref. [1][2][3][4] . The main idea was to imitate the highpressure condition by substituting Mn with smaller ions that would place the material in a situation where the pure MnSi experiences a quantum phase transition at zero temperature [5][6][7] .…”

“…Yet another report suggested the restoration of a QCP in Mn 0.85 Fe 0.15 Si at a critical pressure of p QCP ∼ 21−23 kbar [23]. In contrast, however, a recent report disputed the emergence of a QCP in Mn 0.85 Fe 0.15 Si with pressure [24]. Although reports [22,23] claimed the restoration of a QCP as a function of doping and pressure, the nature of the QPT in MnSi remains elusive.…”
