Effect of Carbon Doping on the Structure and Magnetic Phase Transition in (Mn,Fe₂(P,Si))

Given the potential applications of (Mn,Fe₂(P,Si))-based materials for room-temperature magnetic refrigeration, several research groups have carried out fundamental studies aimed at understanding the role of the magneto-elastic coupling in the first-order magnetic transition and further optimizing this system. Inspired by the...

Efficient Room-Temperature Cooling with Magnets

Magnetic cooling is a highly efficient refrigeration technique with the potential to replace the traditional vapor compression cycle. It is based on the magnetocaloric effect, which is associated with the temperature change of a material when placed in a magnetic field. We present experimental evidence for the origin of the giant entropy...
