Magnetism and transport properties of metamagnetic Mn1−Cr Au2
摘要:
Crystallographic, magnetic and electric properties of metamagnetic Mn1-xCrxAu2 were studied. Pure MnAu2 has a helical-spin structure and the structure changes to a ferromagnetic state below the Neel temperature T-N (similar to 360 K) and above a threshold magnetic field H-th (similar to 10 kOe at 300 K). The T-N, H-th for the metamagnetic transition, and the helical angle of the helical-spin configuration decreases as the Cr content x increases. The Cr substitution seems to dilute the magnetism of MnAu2 and to weaken the interlayer magnetic coupling between the Mn spins. A significant magnetoresistance as large as 3.5% was observed at room temperature in magnetic fields below 10 kOe. The metamagnetic transition seems to give rise to the magnetoresistance via s-d scattering. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) Delta rho/rho of about 10% was observed in bulk-MnAu2 at 300 K in a field of 70 kOe. MnAu2 is a tetragonal material with a spiral spin structure of Mn and shows a metamagnetic transition from a spiral to a ferromagnetic structure at an applied field of about 10 kOe at 300 K. Significant GMR was observed simultaneously with the metamagnetic transition. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
