The X-Ray Analysis and Mössbauer Studies Mn-V-Sn Alloys

Abstract:

The aim of the work is to search possibility for preparation of the Mn2VSn and V2MnSn Heusler-type compounds. We have carried out the 119Sn-Mössbauer spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction studies on the some Mn0.5V0.25 Sn0.25 and V0.5Mn0.25Sn0.25 solid solutions prepared by arc melting of the constituent metals. Combining an independent information about atomic structure from X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy it was possible to identify main chemical environments responsible for the magnetic ordering observed in the samples. The studies revealed that investigated alloys are characterized by existence of the binary compounds, namely V2Sn3, V3Sn and Mn3Sn, with different extension in Mn and V atomic concentration, respectively. No ternary compounds were found in investigated systems.
