英文摘要:

The structural and magnetic properties of transition metal-doped Mn$_3$SnC are studied with an aim to understand the effect of transition metal atom on magnetostructural properties of the antiperovskite compound. The doped Mn$_{2.8}$T$_{0.2}$SnC (T = Cr, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) compounds show a distinctly different magnetic behavior which can be related to electronic filling of the $d$ band of the transition metal atom. While Cr and Fe doped Mn$_3$SnC show properties similar to that of Mn$_3$SnC, the Co, Ni and Cu doped compounds exhibit nucleation of secondary phases which are devoid of carbon and having Heusler and DO19 type hexagonal structure. A strong magnetic interaction is observed between the impurity phases and the major antiperovskite phase leading to a sharp decrease in magnetostructural transition temperature of the antiperovskite phase and a cluster glassy ground state.
