Title

Investigation of spin and lattice dynamics of the magnetocaloric compound Mn5Ge3

Abstract

The study of phonons, magnons and their coupling is of great importance for the understanding of the mechanism of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE). Therefore, inelastic scattering measurements with a thermal triple axis spectrometer on the novel ferromagnetic compound Mn5Ge3 are highly important in order to highlighten the microscopic ingredients that favor a large MCE. Such a study was never performed before on Mn5Ge3. The results could provide new insights not only for magnetic refrigeration applications, but also for spintronic devices. The need to design functional materials connects with a fundamental understanding of magnetism and lattice dynamics.
