Abstract

We report the effect of doping Mn in the isostructural MgCNi3−xMnx (x=0–0.05) compounds. Magnetic susceptibility, resistivity, magnetoresistance, and specific heat studies show evidence of localized moments and Kondo effect in samples with x≠0. The rapid suppression of superconductivity (∼−21K/at.% Mn) in these compounds is a consequence of pair breaking effects due to moment formation on Mn.
