Effect of Non-stoichiometric Vanadium Addition on the Magnetocaloric Properties of Fe2P-type Alloys

Non-stoichiometric addition of vanadium in Fe2P-type (FeMnP0.5Si0.5)1-x(FeV)x alloys can tune the magnetic ordering temperature, thermal hysteresis, and magnetocaloric effect by modifying the Fe-moment localization and magnetoelastic coupling.
