-Mn-type family alloys Mn
have three-dimensional antiferromagnetic (AFM) corner-shared triangular network. The antiferromagnet Mn
RhSi shows magnetic short-range order (SRO) over a wide temperature range of approximately 500 K above the N
el temperature
= 190 K. Mn
CoSi has the smallest lattice parameter and the lowest
in the family compounds. The quantum critical point (QCP) from AFM to the quantum paramagnetic state is expected near a cubic lattice parameter of 6.15
of Mn
CoSi is only 140 K, quantum critical behavior is observed in Mn
CoSi as the enhancement of the electronic specific heat coefficient
. We study how the magnetic SRO appears in Mn
CoSi by using neutron scattering,
SR, and physical property measurements. The experimental results show that the neutron scattering intensity of the magnetic SRO does not change much regardless of the suppressed magnetic moment in the long-range magnetic ordered state compared to those of Mn
RhSi. The initial asymmetry drop ratio of
SR above
becomes small, and the magnetic SRO temperature
is suppressed to 240 K. The results suggest that the Mn
CoSi is close to the QCP in the Mn
system.
