Isotropic, high coercive field in melt-spun tetragonal Heusler Mn3Ge
Nanostructured Mn3Ge ribbons with a composition ranging from 77 to 74 at.% Mn were prepared using induction melting, melt-spinning, and subsequent heat treatment. The hard magnetic properties of the ribbons originate from the highly anisotropic tetragonal D022 structure of Mn3Ge. Depending on the co...
