Enhancing giant magnetocaloric effect near room temperature by inducing magnetostructural coupling in Cu-doped MnCoGe

High performance magnetocaloric materials are crucial to realize the energy efficient and environment friendly magnetic cooling/refrigeration technology. We have designed Mn1-xCuxCoGe compounds possessing a giant magnetocaloric effect near room temperature. The magnetic and structural degree of free...
