Abstract
The compound MnN was prepared as a single phase by DC reactive sputtering. Its crystal structure is determined to be face-centered tetragonal one with the NaCl type by X-ray diffraction measurements. The compound MnN is stabl e up to 753 K and decomposes to tetragonal Mn3N2 at 758 K. This compound ex hibits a antiferromagnetism. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science S.A. Al l rights reserved.
