N2 - © 2017 IOP Publishing Ltd.Single crystal synchrotron diffraction for pressures up to 50 GPa has revealed an essential difference in structural properties and compressibility of MnGe compared with Mn1-xCoxGe and Mn1-xFexGe solid solutions. A negative thermal expansion has been observed for MnGe at low-temperatures and high-pressures. The single crystal refinement has shown a discontinuous change of the atomic coordinates and Mn-Ge interatomic distances of MnGe in contrast to Mn0.1Co0.9Ge. These peculiarities of MnGe are likely to be associated with high-spin-low-spin transition. The relation between anisotropy of the coordination of Mn-atom and its magnetic moment is discussed.
