- (Schubert, 1959) call this AuMn (Mn), and (Villars, 2018) shows it existing only on the manganese side of the phase diagram, while the gold-rich structure is not well determined. We present the ordered stoichiometric structure here, based on the comment in (Schubert, 1959) that this is an orthorhombic distortion of the $B2$ structure.
- Above 120K AuMn first transforms into a phase with uncertain structure, and above ≈ 300K it transforms into the CsCl ($B2$) structure (Villars,2018).
