Zhang, F. (author), Smits, Sebastian (author), Kiecana, A. (author), Batashev, I. (author), Shen, Q. (author), van Dijk, N.H. (author), Brück, E.H. (author)The influence of doping with the 5d transition metal W has been studied in the quaternary (Mn,Fe)<sub>2</sub>(P,Si) based giant magnetocaloric compounds, which is one of the most promising systems for magnetic refrigeration. It is found that W substitution can separately decrease the Curie temperature T<sub>C</sub> and retain the thermal...journal article 2023

Kiecana, A. (author), Schaefers, W. (author), Thijs, M. (author), Dankelman, B.J.R. (author), Ojiyed, H. (author), Batashev, I. (author), Zhang, F. (author), van Dijk, N.H. (author), Brück, E.H. (author)Structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Mn<sub>3</sub>Sn<sub>1-</sub><sub>x</sub>Zn<sub>x</sub>C antiperovskite carbides have been studied. With increasing Zn content the first-order magnetic transition (FOMT) is weakened. The Curie temperature (T<sub>C</sub>) reduces first from 273 to 197 K and when x > 0.3, T<sub>C</sub>...journal article 2023

Kiecana, A. (author), Kwakernaak, C. (author), van Dijk, N.H. (author), Brück, E.H. (author)The effect of the heat treatment on the magnetism, magnetocaloric effect and microstructure formation has been systematically studied in Fe-rich (Mn,Fe)<sub>y</sub>(P,Si) melt-spun ribbons (1.80 ≤ y ≤ 2.00). XRD, SEM and EDS measurements demonstrate that a metal deficiency prompts the stable (Mn,Fe)Si phase, whereas in the metal-rich region...journal article 2023

(author)The effect of Co and Ni doping on the structure, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Fe-rich (Mn,Fe)<sub>2</sub>(P,Si) compounds was studied. With increasing Co and Ni content, both the Curie temperature (T<sub>c</sub>) and the thermal hysteresis (ΔT<sub>hys</sub>) decreased, whereas the hexagonal P-62 m crystal structure was maintained...journal article 2022

Zhang, F. (author), Westra, Kevin (author), Shen, Q. (author), Batashev, I. (author), Kiecana, A. (author), van Dijk, N.H. (author), Brück, E.H. (author)The novel all-d-metal Ni(Co)MnTi based magnetic Heusler alloys provide an adjustable giant magnetocaloric effect and good mechanical properties. We report that the second-order magnetic phase transition can be tailored in this all-d-metal NiCoMnTi based Heusler system by optimizing the Mn/Ti ratio, resulting in a reversible ferromagnetic-to...journal article 2022
