Ni–Co–Mn–Sn based Heusler alloys are promising magnetocaloric materials. The effect of both Co and Mn substitution in these alloys was studied. The magnetocaloric properties, thermopower, electrical resistivity, structural and magnetic phase transitions of Ni–Co–Mn–Sn alloys were determined. Interes...
