摘要：

Here we present results for single crystals of manganese phosphide (MnP), a material exhibiting a first-order ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition at a Curie temperature of 290 K. MnP has a saturation field of about 7.5 kOe along the c-axis. Along this easy magnetic axis, Delta S was measured to be 2.2, 3.3, and 6.0 J/kg K in applied fields of 10, 20, and 50 kOe, respectively. The density of MnP is 5.49 g/cm(3). No hysteresis or irreversibility was measured over a range of temperatures from 10 to 300 K. (c) 2009 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.3072022]
