Paramagnetic scattering of the magnetocaloric compound MnFe4Si3
We propose to study the paramagnetic scattering of the magnetocaloric compound MnFe4Si3 in order to obtain its characteristic length and energy scales. We will investigate possible deviations of the temperature dependence of the inverse spin correlation length from know scaling laws and we will address the question of the nature of magnetism in this system. To this aim a mapping in reciprocal space of the paramagnetic scattering for several wave vectors and temperatures using the thermal TAS IN22 with polarization analysis seems the most efficient method. We hope that this microscopic investigation will shed light on the fundamental ingredients playing a pivotal role in the magnetocaloric effect of this compound. Such a study has never been performed before in other promising magnetocaloric compound.
