Abstract

Crystal data and results of structure refinements for MnSi are reported. The material is cubic, P213, with a = 4.5603(2) Å, Vd = 94.84(1) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 5.815 Mg/m3. Intensity data were obtained from a Stoe transmission type diffractometer equipped with a position sensitive detector. CuKα1 radiation, λ = 1.5405981 Å was employed. Germanium was used as an internal standard for the determination of the lattice constant (aGe= 5.6582 Å). The structure was refined by the Rietveld method by aid of three different programs.
