The irreversible structural change in Mn1.1Fe0.9P0.8Ge0.2: Evidence for a magnetic driver

Neutron powder diffraction measurements complemented by first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used to study the irreversible change that accompanies the reversible magnetocaloric transition (MCT) in Mn1.1Fe0.9P0.8Ge0.2. We observe the growth and loss of long-period...
