The magnetic properties of a series of the intermetallic compound Mn5−xTxSi3 with T=3d transition metal Ti, V, Cr, and Ni have been examined as a function of the magnetic field (0–12 T) and temperature (2–300 K). The alloys have the same hexagonal D88 crystal structure as Mn5Si3 with very little change in lattice spacing. The magnetization measurements show that the substitutional elements produce a variety of effects, dramatically altering the field and temperature dependence of the AF1/AF2 and AF2/paramagnetic transitions. It is assumed that since the Mn–Mn distances in the parent alloy are all near critical values for instability the substitution on to Mn sites interferes significantly in the Mn–Mn interactions. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
