The Magnetocaloric Effect of Nonstoichiometric ErM2Mnx Compounds (with M = Ni, Co, and Fe)
The structure and magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of nonstoichiometric ErM 2 Mn x alloys with M = Ni, Co, and Fe have been studied. ErNi 2 Mn x alloys with x ≤ 1.25, ErCo 2 Mn x alloys with x ≤ 0.8, and ErFe 2 Mn x alloys with x ≤ 0.4 are shown to solidify with the formation of the cubic MgCu...
