Rev., 168, 637, 10.1103/PhysRev.168.637 More V substitution in Mn2Sb alloy leads to increased AFM-FIM transition temperature but reduced maximum of magnetic entropy changes, which are referred from Suppl. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Therefore, Mn1.95V0.05Sb with minimum V substitution amount has been used as benchmark alloy. Balli, 2009, Appl. Phys. Lett., 95, 10.1063/1.3194144 Caron, 2017, J. Phys. Condens.

Phys., 68, 1479, 10.1088/0034-4885/68/6/R04 If Mn sites in Cu2Sb-type Mn2Sb lattice are occupied by Li, the metamagnetic transition from FIM to AFM during cooling process is suppressed, as seen in Suppl. Fig. 3.
