Binary alloys of manganese and boron and ternary alloys of manganese and boron with aluminum, zinc, tin and indium were prepared. Their structures were determined from x-ray powder photographs, and their ferromagnetic properties were measured with a Sucksmith rinf balance, using a powerful electromagnet. The orthorhombic phase MnB had a ferromagnetic Bohr magneton number of 1.73 per molecule and a Curie point of 309°C. Most of the ternary alloys were slightly ferromagnetic, but no strongly ferromagnetic single phase regions were found.
Paramagnetic measurements on Heusler alloys showed that they followed the Curie-Weiss law for the restricted range of temperature in which measurements could be made. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Materials Engineering, Department of / Graduate
