We have made time‐of‐flight neutron diffractionmeasurements on α‐manganese metal. Powder diffraction measurements were made at 14 temperatures between 15 and 305 K, and single crystalmeasurements were made at 15 and 300 K. We found that the crystal structure of α‐Mn is tetragonal below its Néel point of 100 K, with crystal symmetryI4̄2m and magnetic (Shubnikov) symmetry P I 4̄21 c. In agreement with the earlier results of Yamada et al., there are six independent magnetic atoms, and we found that their moments are weakly temperature dependent. The onset of magnetic order causes slight changes in the atomic positions and in …

Results of electrical resistance and magnetic susceptibility measurements on Ce2Bi, Ce2Sb, CeScGe, CeScSi and CeSb2 are presented. Ce2Bi and Ce2Sb have antiferromagnetictransitions at low temperatures, while CeSb2, CeScGe and CeScSi have ferromagnetictransitions, CeScGe having a T c = 46 K. The data are analyzed with respect to the similarities of the two crystal structure groups that these materials fall into: CeSb2 having the LaSb2structure and the other materials all having the La2Sb structure.
