The structural and physical properties were investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction temperature-dependent resistivity and magnetic measurements. X-ray powder diffraction results showed that the Cd1-xInxNNi3 and Cd1_yCuyNNi3 compounds have a typical antiperovskite structure, and the CdNNi3, Cd0.9In0.1NNi3, and Cd0.9Cu0.1NNia compounds show metallic temperature-dependent resistivity and exhibit a Fermi liquid behavior at low temperature. In contrast to the paramagnetism previously reported, the CdNNi3 sample exhibits very soft and weak ferromagnetism, and no superconductivity was found in the Cd1-xInxNNi3 and Cdl-yCuyNNi3 samples down to 2 K. Each sample exhibited very soft and weak ferromagnetism, and the temperature dependence of the magnetization of the Cd1-xInxNNi3 and Cd1_yCuyNNi3 samples can be well fitted to the combination of a Bloch term and a Curie-Weiss term.展开更多
