| description | In this work, the structural, magnetic, thermal, and transport properties of the arc-melted polycrystalline Heusler alloy Co<sub>2</sub>Ti<sub>1.5</sub>Sn<sub>0.5</sub> are investigated. The alloy crystallizes in an <i>L2<sub>1</sub></i> structure with a space group of <i>Fm-3m</i>. The magnetic properties of the alloy depict its antiferromagnetic nature and the alloy exhibits magnetic ordering around Neel Temperature <i>T<sub>N</sub></i> = 8.5 K. The effective magnetic moment value obtained from the Curie –Weiss law suggests that the cobalt atom in the alloy is in the low-spin state. From the heat capacity studies, the Sommerfeld coefficient and Debye temperature were determined. In addition, electrical resistivity shows a linear response with increasing temperature, indicating the metallic nature of the alloy. |
