Abstract

Composites made up of MnBi needles embedded in bismuth single crystals are grown from eutectic melts by both Czochralski and zone-melting techniques. The galvanomagnetic properties of the composite are determined mainly by the bismuth matrix. Magnetic measurements reveal a magnetic phase with an anisotropy field of more than 200 kOe at 77°K and a Curie point of 240°K. This phase is believed to be a modification of MnBi different from the two already known. The solubility of Mn in solid Bi is concluded to be less than 30 wt ppm.
