NiMnSb half-Heusler alloy in the form of a rod has been prepared by rapid quenching (suction-casting) method. The rod is characterized by single phase C1_b crystalline structure with lattice parameter a=5.982 Å. Magnetic measurements reveal an isotropic character of bulk NiMnSb alloy. Our study shows relatively high spin polarization of bulk NiMnSb in the range 35-50%.
