Abstract

Temperature dependent powder and single-crystal synchrotron diffraction, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and small-angle neutron scattering experiments have revealed an anomalous response of MnGe. The anomaly becomes smeared out with decreasing Mn content in Mn1−xCoxGe and Mn1−xFexGe solid solutions. Mn spin state instability is discussed as a possible candidate for the observed effects.
