Abstract

We have studied the caloric and magnetic properties of alloys in the MnAs–ZnGeAs2 eutectic system. The results demonstrate that the heat effect and temperature range of the ferromagnetic-to-paramagnetic phase transformation depend on the crystallite size of manganese arsenide. Reducing the crystallite size to ≤60 nm causes the heat effect of the transformation to disappear, significantly changes the temperature range of the magnetic transition, and raises the Curie temperature of the alloy to 351 K.
