Abstract

The lattice, magnetic and electronic transport properties of the compounds Mn₃Sn_1-xSi_xC (0<x<;0.4) are investigated. The results have shown that Si-doping in the antiperovskite Mn₃SnC induces the decrease of the nearest neighbouring Mn-Mn bond distance of Mn₃Sn_1-xSi_xC, and the magnetic structure transforms from ferrimagnetic to antiferromagnetic when x>0.2. With the increase of Si, the Neel temperature T_N rises. The T_N of Mn₃Sn_1-xSi_xC(x=0.2, 0.3, 0.4) are 217 K, 257 K and 290 K, respectively. However, the magnetovolume effect is quenched. In Mn₃SnC and Mn₃Sn_1-xSi_xC (x=0.2, 0.3, 0.4) compounds, there exists an anomalous increase in resistivity at a certain temperature that coincides well with their Curie temperature T_C or Neel temperature T_N. The temperature dependence of the resistivity of Mn₃Sn_1-xSi_xC (x=0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) exhibits semiconducting-like behavior at low temperature and metallic-like behavior at high temperature.
