Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have prepared chemically homogeneous Mn5Ge3 single crystals and evaluated the anisotropy in their electrical resistivity and linear expansion coefficient. These properties have been shown to vary anomalously with temperature near the ferromagnetic transition of Mn5Ge3. In the temperature range 320–900 K, its resistivity remains constant.
