Unusual Electrical Transport Driven by the Competition between Antiferromagnetism and Ferromagnetism in Antiperovskite Mn3Zn1−xCoxN

The magnetic, electrical transport and thermal expansion properties of Mn3Zn1−xCoxN (x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9) have been systematically investigated. Co-doping in Mn3ZnN complicates the magnetic interactions, leading to a competition between antiferromagnetism and ferromagnetism. Abrupt resistivi...
