“…[1][2][3] Magnetic marterials showing large low-field magnetocaloric effect have been attracting increasing attention over the past few decades due to their potential applications for magnetic refrigeration. During the past decades, a large MCE in the roomtemperature range has been observed in several classes of materials including Gd 5 (Si,Ge) 4 ; 4 MnAs and Mn(As,Sb); 5,6 (Mn,Fe) 2 (P,X) with X = As, Ge, Si; [7][8][9] (Mn,Fe) 2 (P,Si,B); 10 MnCoGeB x ; 11 MnCoGe 1Àx Ga x ; 12 MnCo 1Àx Fe x Si; 13 La(Fe,Si) 13 and their hydrides; 14,15 La(Mn,Fe,Si) 13 H z ; 16 Fe 49 Rh 51 17 and…”
