Large magnetostrain in magnetic-field-aligned Mn0.965CoGe compound

By applying external stimulus (temperature or magnetic field), MnCoGe-based compounds undergo a martensitic transformation from hexagonal Ni2In-type to orthorhombic TiNiSi-type structure accompanied with a giant negative thermal expansion, which suggests a large magnetic-field-induced strain. Howeve...
