Abstract

The internal magnetic fields of Mn and Sn nuclei in Ni 2 MnSn, Co 2 MnSn and Ni 2 MnSb were measured with the spin-echo N. M. R. method, as well as their thermo-magnetic curves. The Curie temperatures measured of Ni 2 MnSn and Ni 2 MnSb were different from Castellitz's data, and a sluggish change of the magnetization in Ni 2 MnSb was observed, near the Curie temperature. The NMR signals of Mn nuclei were observed in Co 2 MnSn, Ni 2 MnSn and Ni 2 MnSb. The internal magnetic fields were 352.3, 312.7 and 285 kOe, respectively. An unexpected resonance signal appeared in Ni 2 MnSb and was interpreted as originating from Mn atoms occupying non-regular sites. The resonance signals of Sn nuclei were also observed in Co 2 MnSn and Ni 2 MnSn. The internal magnetic fields were 153.8 and 150.4 kOe, respectively. The difference in the internal magnetic fields of the above compounds from those of Cu 2 MnSn can be tentatively attributed to the difference in the conduction electron polarization by RKKY interaction.
