MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF SINGLE CRYSTALS (MnIn2S4)1–х–(AgIn5S8)х SOLID SOLUTIONS

Abstract

Single crystals of solid solutions (MnIn2S4)1-х–(AgIn5S8)х have been grown with the Bridgeman method in the whole range of temperatures. The crystals structure and composition were determined. The study of the given single crystals in the temperature range 2–300 К and magnetic fields to 10 T was carried out. It is set that the given crystals are paramagnetic in the whole studied range. The specific magnetic moment increases with the temperature.
