| The substitution of silicon for germanium in Mn5Ge3 leads to a decrease in the magnetization for x < 0.7 and then to phase transition toward a non-collinear antiferromagnetic order for Mn5Si3. The magnetic properties of Mn5Ge3 and Mn5(Ge0.5Si0.5)3 are analyzed by means of band structure calculations. |
