The existence region and the magnetic and electrical properties of MnSb

MAGNETOOPTICAL SPECTRA OF MnSb CRYSTAL BETWEEN 1.2 AND 6.4 eV

“…From the lattice constants the composition ratio of Mn and Sb was determined to be Mn:Sb=S1.2:48.8. [3] According to Okita et al[4} the magnetic anisotropy constant Kl is negative for this composition, which means that easy axis of the magnetization is perpendicular to the c-axis of MnSb.…”

Mössbauer Study of Cubic Phase in the Mn-Sb System

“…In order to make sure that there is no phase with a hexagonal (NiAs) type of crystal structure in the cubic sample, we should compare the Mössbauer data for cubic Mn 2.98 Fe 0.02 Sb and hexagonal Mn 1+x Sb. It is known that the x value can be 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.22 [5] for the Mn 1+x Sb obtained by usual heterophase reaction and 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5 [6] for the sample prepared under the high temperature and pressure treatment. The Mössbauer data for the samples with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.22 were obtained earlier [7].…”

“…In the latter system, excess Mn atoms are considered to occupy the interstitial site at random. 7) We believe that some of Mn atoms must occupy the interstitial site to keep the NiAs-type structure in the ternary system, too. In such nonstoichiometric compounds, heat treatments often have strong influences on magnetic properties.…”
