Crystal structure and magnetism of the MnxGa (1.15 ≤x ≤ 2.0) rare-earth-free permanent magnet system

Room temperature neutron powder diffraction has been used to investigate the chemical structure and magnetic ordering of a series of tetragonal (I4/mmm #139) MnxGa (1.15 ≤ x ≤ 2.0) alloys. Initially (x < 1.5) the excess Mn goes on the 2b site with vacancies appearing at the 2a site. For x > 1....
