description •As-cast samples of doped and undoped Mn100−xZx with Z = Al, Ge, Fe have the beta-Mn structure.•Only the undoped sample is a spin liquid, all others are spin glasses.•Andreev reflection reveals a spin polarization of 8% in the spin glass, but none in the spin liquid.•Fixed spin moment DFT calculations show an unusual broad and shallow energy minimum for beta Mn moments from 0 to 0.4 µB.•The depth of the energy minimum, approximately 0.5 meV/atom, is a lower limit on the zero-point energy. As-cast ingots of Mn100−xZx with Z = Al, Ge, Mn, Fe and Co all have the A13 βMn structure up to some maximum value of x. The magnetic susceptibility of pure βMn is ≈ 9 × 10−4 from 4 to 400 K, but the field-cooled and zero-field-cooled susceptibilities of all doped samples increase at low temperature and they bifurcate at a spin-freezing temperature Tf that increases with x, linearly at first. Point contact Andreev reflection shows evidence of a net spin polarization in a spin glass sample but not in the pure βMn spin liquid. Fixed-moment density functional calculations indicate a very shallow energy minimum (< 1 meV/atom) for the 12d-site Mn moment that extends from x = 0 to 0.4 µB. The minimum energy is interpreted as a lower limit on the zero-point energy.
