abstract = {An inelastic neutron scattering technique is employed to
investigate the paramagnetic spin dynamics in a
single-crystalline sample of the magnetocaloric compound
MnFe4Si3. In the investigated temperature range, 1.033 x TC
to 1.5 x TC , where TC is the Curie temperature, the spin
fluctuations are well described by the ferromagnetic
Heisenberg model predictions. Apart from the Heisenberg
exchange, additional pseudodipolar interactions manifest
through a finite long-wavelength relaxation rate that
vanishes at the transition temperature (TC = 305 K). Based
on the characteristic extent of spin fluctuations in
wave-vector and energy space, we determine that the nature
of magnetism in MnFe4Si3 is localized above room
temperature. This contrasts with the most celebrated Mn- and
Fe-based magnetocaloric materials that are considered as
itinerant magnets. The field dependence of the paramagnetic
spectra shows a strong suppression of the quasielastic
excitations, while a field-induced spin-wave mode appears at
finite-energy transfers for a magnetic field of 2 T. This
modification of the spectra suggests a decrease of magnetic
entropy with applied magnetic field that finds echo in the
magnetocaloric properties of the system.},
