Abstract:
Full Heusler alloy Fe2MnSi0.75Al0.25 has been prepared by the arc melting method with proper stoichiometry followed by nitrogen atmosphere annealing. Structural and magnetic characterizations have been carried out. X- ray diffraction data analysis reveals that this alloy crystallizes to L21 structure in Fm3m space group. It exhibits ferromagnetic behavior below Curie temperature. Curie temperature is found to be around 290 K. The Kouvel- Fisher plot and the Arrott plot have been employed to understand the nature of para to ferromagnetic transi-tion. Here values obtained for critical exponents (β¼0:5284​;γ¼1:084;δ¼3:05336​) are convergent with the mean-field model. Law of Approach (LA) to saturation magnetization has been employed to obtain the saturation magnetization and it is found to be maximum (2.4317μB/f.u.) at 50 K

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
