Magnetic and electrical properties of Zn3P2 + MnP materials

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have synthesized a new ferromagnetic material based on a Zn3P2 + MnP composite with a Curie temperature of 290 K. Experimental data demonstrate that its magnetic and electrical properties are determined by manganese phosphide nanoclusters. The composite has metallic conductivity. Its electrical resistance drops with increasing magnetic field, and its magnetoresistance in a magnetic field of 14 T at 7 K reaches 9%.
