Abstract
The isothermal section of the phase diagram of ternary Ti-Mn-Sn system has been investigated at 770 K. The existence of new TiMnSn4 ternary compound w as established and its crystal structure was determined. TiMnSn4 stannide c rystallizes in the Mg2Ni structure type (space group P6(2)22, a=0.55537(1) nm, c=1.40326(2) nm). For the given compound the temperature dependences of electrical resistivity, differential thermopower and magnetic susceptibili ty were investigated. On the basis of binary Mn3Sn, Ti6Sn5 and Ti3Sn compou nds the solid solutions were formed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rig hts reserved.
