Abstract

The results of the 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopic studies performed at 25 K are reported here for the polycrystalline Fe0.8Mn0.2Sb2 and FeSb2 systems. The spectra of Fe0.8Mn0.2Sb2 at 25 K exhibited a magnetically broadened spectral shape. The magnetic measurements for these two specimens have been performed in the temperature range 2–350 K using MPMS SQUID magnetometer and externally applied magnetic fields of 2 and 20 kOe. From the shape of the M-H curve for Fe0.8Mn0.2Sb2 it may be said that it is behaving like a weakly ferromagnetic material.
