(author), Brück, E.H. (author)We performed neutron-diffraction experiments and density functional theory calculations to study the magnetostructural coupling in MnCoGeBx (x=0, 0.01, and 0.05) alloys. By varying the amount of boron addition, we are able to freely switch the magnetostructural coupling on and off in the MnCoGe alloys. It is found that the boron addition...journal article 2020

(author), Brück, E.H. (author)Neutron diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, magnetometry, and in-field x-ray diffraction are employed to investigate the magnetoelastic phase transition in hexagonal (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) compounds. (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) compounds undergo for certain compositions a second-order paramagnetic (PM) to a spin-density-wave (SDW) phase transition before further...journal article 2016
