Magnetic structure and local lattice distortion in giant negative thermal expansion material Mn$$_{3}$$Cu$$_{1-x}$$Ge$$_{x}$$N

Iikubo, Satoshi*; Kodama, Katsuaki   ; Takenaka, Koshi*; Takagi, Hidenori*; Shamoto, Shinichi  

Magnetic and local structures in an antiperovskite system, Mn$$_{3}$$Cu$$_{1-x}$$Ge$$_{x}$$N, with a giant negative thermal expansion have been studied by neutron powder diffraction measurement. We discuss (1) an importance of an averaged cubic crystal structure and a $$Gamma$$$$^{5g}$$ antiferromagnetic spin structure for the large magneto-volume effect (MVE) in this itinerant electron system, (2) an unique role of a local lattice distortion well described by the low temperature tetragonal structure of Mn$$_{3}$$GeN for the broadening of MVE.
