The anti-perovskite compound Mn$$_3$$Cu$$_{1-x}$$Ge$$_x$$N with $$x sim 0.5$$ has a giant negative thermal expansion coefficient due to the magneto-volume effect near room temperature. Competition between the $$Gamma^{5g}$$ and $$Gamma^{4g}$$ antiferromagnetic structures around the magnetic ordering temperature could be the driving force for such a phenomenon. In order to examine this possibility, we performed neutron diffraction experiments on Mn$$_3$$Cu$$_{0.5}$$Ge$$_{0.5}$$N and $$^{14}$$N nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments on Mn$$_3$$Cu$$_{0.6}$$Ge$$_{0.4}$$N. As a reference material, we also investigated Mn$$_3$$NiN, whose spin structure is represented by a linear combination of the $$Gamma^{5g}$$ and $$Gamma^{4g}$$ antiferromagnetic components. We conclude that in Mn$$_3$$Cu$$_{1-x}$$Ge$$_x$$N ($$x sim 0.5$$), the $$Gamma^{4g}$$ antiferromagnetic component is nearly absent and the competition between the $$Gamma^{5g}$$ and $$Gamma^{4g}$$ antiferromagnetic structures is irelevant to the giant negative thermal expansion coefficient. The $$Gamma^{5g}$$ antiferromagnetic ordered moment gradually develops with decreasing temperature. This provides a thorough justification for the analysis presented in the previous letter.
