Abstract:We propose a new synthesis method of transition-metal monogermanides (TMGe, TM = Mn, Fe, and Co) with a B20-type chiral structure. Arc-melting followed by mechanical milling can be used to produce ³70110 ¡-sized B20-type structures. Differential scanning calorimetry and heat-treatment tests indicated that the B20-phases are stable below 673 K, 873 K and 773 K for MnGe, FeGe and CoGe, respectively. We also demonstrated that sintering tests are able to yield dense compacts from the FeGe and CoGe B20-phase powder… 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.
