Structural and Magnetic Properties of the ($\text{Pd}_{2-\text{x}}\text{Ag}_\text{x}\text{MnIn}$) alloys

Abstract

The series of the Heusler alloys type ($\text{Pd}_{2-\text{x}}\text{Ag}_\text{x}\text{MnIn}$) with ($0 \le \text{x} \le 2$) have been investigated. X-ray, Neutron diffraction and magnetic susceptibility have been measured. The lattice parameters were determined from Nelson Riley extrapolation. In there series several of magnetic structures are observed such as antiferromagnetic Fcc type and ferromagnetic. The Neel and Curie temperatures ($\theta_\text{N}$, $\theta_\text{c}$) with the effective magnetic moment ($\mu_{\text{eff}}$) are determined for all samples.
