摘要
Full Heusler alloy Fe2MnSi0.75Al0.25 has been prepared by the arc melting method with proper stoichiometry followed by nitrogen atmosphere annealing. Structural and magnetic characterizations have been carried out. X-ray diffraction data analysis reveals that this alloy crystallizes to L2(1) structure in Fm (3) over barm space group. It exhibits ferromagnetic behavior below Curie temperature. Curie temperature is found to be around 290 K. The Kouvel-Fisher plot and the Arrott plot have been employed to understand the nature of para to ferromagnetic transition. Here values obtained for critical exponents (beta = 0:5284; gamma = 1:084; delta = 3:05336) are convergent with the mean-field model. Law of Approach (LA) to saturation magnetization has been employed to obtain the saturation magnetization and it is found to be maximum (2.4317 mu(B)/f.u.) at 50 K.
