Abstract

The structural, magnetic, and transport properties of the Mn2Ni1.8In0.2 alloy have been presented. It was observed to form in tetragonal structure. Multiple magnetic phase transitions have been detected in magnetization data over the temperature range from 2 to 350 K. From the resistivity, ac susceptibility, and heat capacity data, the superconducting transition are observed at T = 5.6 K. The alloy is considered to be one of the potential candidates from the Mn-rich alloys, which has shown both magnetic and superconducting properties, which can be useful from application point of view.
