Magnetovolume effect in Mn$$_3$$Cu$$_{1-x}$$Ge$$_x$$N related to the magnetic structure; Neutron powder diffraction measurements

Magnetic structures in an antiperovskite system Mn$$_3$$Cu$$_{1-x}$$Ge$$_x$$N with a large magneto-volume effect above $$x$$=0.15 have been studied by neutron powder diffraction measurement. The present neutron study revealed that not only a cubic crystal structure, but also a $$Gamma^{5g}$$ antiperovskite spin structure, is a key ingredient of the large magneto-volume effect in this itinerant electron system. The large magneto-volume effect is possibly ascribed to the geometrical frustration originating from the corner-shared octahedra of the antiperovskite sturucture.
