The single crystals of TiNiSn and polycrystalline PtMnSb were grown by the flux and melt cooling method. Their lattice parameters and structures were determined by x-ray diffraction. The effect of impurities on the growth of TiNiSn single crystals was investigated. It was found that the concentration of chlorine plays a key role in determining the chemical composition of the phases that are formed. The heat capacity and magnetic susceptibility of TiNiSn was measured in a temperature range from 4.7 K to room temperature. Magnetic measurements show that the TiNiSn is paramagnetic, and that it does not order magnetically.
