Abstract
The spin reorientation and Curie temperature of Mn21xFexSb11ySny (0 ¯ x, y ¯ 0.15) compound were investigated by magnetization measurements. Spin reorientation temperature increased from 255 K at x = 0 to 383 K at x = 0.15, whereas it almost unchanged by Sn substitution. Curie temperature decreased down to 518 K with both Fe and Sn substitution. Substitution of Fe stabilized the ferrimagnetic state with magnetic moment lying in c-plane. Substitution of Sn induced the antiferromagnetic phase at low temperature. It was found that the magnetic hysteresis derived from quasi first-order magnetic phase transition exhibited at x 2 0.10 or T 2 300 K.
