Molecular beam epitaxy has been used to produce a set of Mn x Ga samples (x = 0.7 ÷ 1.9) with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, and controllable saturation magnetization and coercive field depending on x. By conducting 57Mn/Fe and 119In/Sn emission Mössbauer spectroscopy at ISOLDE/CERN, the Mn and Ga site-specific chemical, structural, and magnetic properties of Mn x Ga are investigated as a function of x, and correlated with the magnetic properties as measured by superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. Hyperfine magnetic fields of Mn/Fe (either at Mn or Ga sites) are found to be greatly influenced by the local strain induced by the implantation. However, In/Sn probes show clear angular dependence, demonstrating a huge transferred dipolar hyperfine field to the Ga sites. A clear increase of the occupancy of Ga lattice sites by Mn for x > 1 is observed, and identified as the origin for the increased antiferromagnetic coupling between Mn and Mn at Ga sites that lowers the samples' magnetization. The results shed further light on the atomic-scale mechanisms driving the compositional dependence of magnetism in Mn x Ga. %Z https://katalog.ub.tu-freiberg.de/Record/0-1810555000 %U https://katalog.ub.tu-freiberg.de/Record/0-1810555000
