There are 3 phase transitions in CoMnSi<br />
antiferro- to ferromagnetic<br />
(metamagnetic) phase transition<br />
at Tt = 200 − 360 K,<br />
ferro- to paramagnetic phase<br />
transition at T C 410 K,<br />
orthorhombic to hexagonal<br />
structural phase transition at<br />
Tstructural = 917 ◦ C.<br />
! phase transition temperatures are very<br />
sample dependent !<br />
