Fig. 1. XRD patterns of bulk Mn 1.1 Fe 0.9 P 0.8 Ge 0.2 alloy prepared through a manually blending and b high energy ball milling, respectively. The bottom curve is the difference between the observed and calculated intensities. The black and red rows of vertical bars indicate the Bragg reflection positions of MnFePGe and MnO compounds, respectively. [ 17 , 18 ]
