Abstract Mn 1.95 Cu 0.05 SbB x (x = 0, 0.06 and 0.1) alloys had been prepared and B interstitial effects on metamagnetic transition were studied. The metamagnetic transition temperature was reduced and thermal hysteresis was widened by higher B concentration. The saturation magnetization and the magnetic entropy change were increased by moderate amount of B addition. However, too high B composition led into the sluggish metamagnetic transition. By relating with crystallographic structure, our results further indicated that the electron density of the atoms at MnⅡ position plays critical role on influencing the metamagnetic transition in tetragonal Cu 2 Sb-type Mn 1.95 Cu 0.05 Sb alloys.
