Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

High-pressure high-temperature processing (p = 7 GPa, T = 2300 K) has been shown to alter the phase composition of Mn2−x Cr x Sb alloys, resulting in a two-phase state: Mn3Sb (sp. gr. Pm3m, no. 221) and a hexagonal phase of variable composition (sp. gr. P63/mmc, no. 194). With increasing chromium concentration, the content of the hexagonal phase increases, while that of the cubic phase drops. In addition, the occupancy of the bipyramidal interstitial sites in the hexagonal phase increases, reaching a maximum in the single-phase alloy MnCrSb (Ni2In structure).
