Abstract

The thermal expansion and low temperature and low temperature specific heat were measured for Y1−xScxMn2. The results are discussed in terms of spin fluctuations and compared with those of Y(Mn1−xAlx)2, which show al local moment character. It is revealed that Y1−xScxMn2 is a typical nearly antiferromagnet in which giant spin fluctuations are thermally excited.
