A double hetero-valent substitution method transforms a spin-glass quasicrystal approximant into a ferromagnetic material with strong magnetocaloric effects In a study published in the Journal of the ...

Scientists have utilized the double hetero-valent substitution method to modify stoichiometric compounds with non-magnetic properties into non-stoichiometric compounds with enhanced magnetocaloric ...

In stoichiometric compounds (compounds with fixed ratios of elements), the elemental ratios are dictated by chemical stability, which constrains how much the composition, and consequently the number ...
