Scientists have utilized the double hetero-valent substitution method to modify stoichiometric compounds with non-magnetic properties into non-stoichiometric compounds with enhanced magnetocaloric ...

In stoichiometric compounds (compounds with fixed ratios of elements), the elemental ratios are dictated by chemical stability, which constrains how much the composition, and consequently the number ...

Tuning magnetic properties in quasicrystals is limited by fixed elemental ratios set by stoichiometry. Now, researchers from Japan developed a “double hetero-valent elemental substitution” method, ...
