abstract = {MnCoGe-based intermetallics have garnered significant
attention owing to their pronounced negative thermal
expansion and large magnetocaloric effect (MCE), both of
which are highly sensitive to chemical substitutions.
Despite extensive studies, the microscopic origin underlying
the tunability of these properties remains unclear. In this
study, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of the
local atomic environments around Mn and Co in MnCoGe Sn (
) using extended x-ray absorption fine structure and
other structural and magnetic characterization techniques.
Our analysis reveals that the substitutional disorder
introduced by Sn atoms occupying the Ge sublattice sites
disrupts the cooperative lattice distortions required for
the long-range displacive martensitic transformation. This
disorder-induced suppression results in a systematic
decrease in both the martensitic transition temperature (
) and the magnetic ordering temperature ( ). At low
doping levels, the convergence of and enhances
magnetostructural coupling, thereby amplifying the MCE.
However, further Sn substitution ultimately suppresses the
martensitic transition entirely, leading to a decoupling of
the magnetic and structural degrees of freedom and a
consequent degradation of the magnetostructural response.},
