Heusler compounds and alloys based on them are of great recent interest because they exhibit a wide variety of spin structures, magnetic properties, and electron-transport phenomena. Their properties are tunable by alloying and we have investigated L21-ordered compound Ru2MnSn and its alloys by varying the atomic Mn:Sn composition. While antiferromagnetic ordering with a Néel temperature of 361 K was observed in Ru2MnSn, the Mn-poor Ru2Mn0.8Sn1.2 alloy exhibits properties of a diluted antiferromagnet in which there are localized regions of uncompensated Mn spins. Furthermore, a noncoplanar spin structure, evident from …

Novel Physical Properties Of Non-Trivial Magnetic Materials: Cr1/3nbs2, Mnsi And Fe3gete2, Jieyu Yi

Doctoral Dissertations

Helimagnets and quasi-two-dimensional layered materials have attracted much recent interest due to their rich physical properties and potential for spintronics applications. In this dissertation, the helimagnets Cr1/3NbS2 [chromium one-third niobium disulfide] and thin-film MnSi [manganese silicide] as well as the layered magnetic material Fe3GeTe2 [iron three germanium ditelluride] were extensively and carefully studied. Cr1/3NbS2 was previously reported to be helimagnet with a transition temperature of approximately 120 K. Cr1/3NbS2 has a layered structure with Cr3+ ions intercalating between NbS­2 sheets, and is easily cleaved. Using in-situ …
