Abstract
The magnetic behavior of Ni2+xMn1−xAl alloys around the stoichiometric 2:1:1 composition was investigated with several experimental techniques. The results of low-temperature magnetization measurements indicate that a competition mechanism between ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism is expected in off-stoichiometric alloys. Although the Curie temperature is strongly dependent on the composition, the saturation magnetization has an unsystematic variation for deviations from the stoichiometric Ni2MnAl alloy. A reentrant-spin–glass behavior is observed below 50 K.
