Lithiation of the Fe₂P-based magnetocaloric materials: A first-principles study

The physical properties of the extensively studied Fe₂P material family, well-known for its promising magnetocaloric qualities are greatly influenced by the unit-cell parameters of this hexagonal system. This sensitivity of the various magnetocaloric properties to structural parameters is particularly important for developing a...

Tuneable giant magnetocaloric effect in (Mn,Fe)₂(P,Si) materials by Co-B and Ni-B co-doping

The influence of Co (Ni) and B co-doping on the structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of (Mn,Fe)₂(P,Si) compounds is investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, magnetic and direct temperature change measurements. It is found that Co (Ni) and B co-doping is an effective approach to tune...
