Magnetization and rotational hysteresis measurements have been made on some alloys of Mn(1−x)CrxSb. For 0.5≤x≤0.7 the rotational hysteresis continuously increases with applied magnetic field in the temperature range of 80–300°K. This behavior supports the hypothesis that there is a coexistence of ferro-and anti-ferro-magnetic components in this composition range and that there exists an exchange anisotropy due to the magnetic coupling between them. These magnetic components probably arise from local fluctuations in the Mn to Cr ratio caused by the near random distribution of these ions on the magnetic ion sites in this system.
