Popis: | Magnetic and structural properties of Heusler Pd0.5Mn0.5- x Sn x with x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.17, 0.20 and 0.25, have been studied by magnetisation and X-ray diffraction measurements at room and low temperatures. The crystal structure at room temperature is L21 cubic phase for x = 0.17, 0.20, 0.25 and B2 cubic phase for x = 0.10. Martensite structure 10M, was observed at room temperature for x = 0.05. X-ray measurements at low temperatures revealed a structural transformation from B2 to 14M for the x = 0.10 case. The lattice parameter of the L21 phase decreases linearly with the concentration, x. A ferromagnetic behaviour has been detected for L21 compounds, but the ferromagnetic exchange characteristic of each composition is of different strength. This gives rise to different Curie temperatures. |
