Phase Transition, Magnetocaloric Effect, and Critical Behavior of Room Temperature Magnetic Refrigerant Material Mn5Ge2.7Zn0.3 by XU Tongjie, LIU Zhenhua, JIN Huaiyu, LIU Jie, JIANG Xiuli, LI Zhe, LIU Yongsheng

“…The sample underwent a second-order phase transition through the M2-H/M plot and Banerjee’s criterion, and the isothermal entropy change of the sample was further calculated according to Maxwell’s equation, and the power-law relationship of field-entropy and the normalization curve also verified the fact of the second-order phase transition. The critical index was solved by the modified Arrott plot(MAP) method, the Kouvel-Fisher(KF) method and the critical isothermal (CI) method, and the accuracy of the critical index was verified by Widom scaling ansatz and scaling laws. …”
