Thermomagnetic properties improved by self-organized flower-like phase separation of ferromagnetic Co2Dy0.5Mn0.5Sn. — •Michael Schwall1, Peter Klaer2, Hans-Joachim Elmers2, and Benjamin Balke1 — 1Institute of Inorganic Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry, Johannes Gutenberg - University, Mainz — 2Institute of Physics, Johannes Gutenberg - University, Mainz
A thermodynamically stable phase separation of Co2Dy0.5Mn0.5Sn into the Heusler compound Co2MnSn and Co8Dy3Sn4 is induced by rapid cooling from the liquid phase. The phase separation forms an ordered flower-like structure on the microscale. The increased scattering of phonons at the phase boundaries reduces thermal conductivity and thus improves thermoelectric and spincaloric properties.
