Abstract

In this paper, a series of Zn1−xInxNNi3 samples were synthesized by a solid–gas reaction route under NH3 atmosphere and the same was crystallized in Pm3m space group. The magnetic properties was investigated by means of zero-field-cooling and field-cooling magnetization and studied the Zn-site doping effect, only when 0.3 ≤ x, the superconductivity rapidly disappears. In element doping affects the electron pairing and strongly suppresses the superconductivity. No uniform solid solution can be obtained at low In content (x ≤ 0.2), instead micrometer-scaled ferromagnetic Zn0.7In0.3NNi3 domains formed embedded within a superconductive ZnNNi3 bulk, showing chemical phase separation of superconductive ZnNNi3 and ferromagnetic Zn0.7In0.3NNi3. Only at a high In content (0.3 ≤ x), the uniform ferromagnetic solid solution Zn1-xInxNNi3 is formed.
