This paper explores the FeCoNiCuMn high-entropy alloy system, where small departures from equiatomic composition have yielded technologically interesting 300-K Curie temperatures (), making them promising for magnetocaloric applications. We also demonstrate that the small deviations from equiatomic compositions do not affect the structural stability of our single-phase fcc-based solid solutions. Room-temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements provide evidence for the distributed exchange interactions () occurring between the magnetic elements, which contribute to a broadened magnetocaloric effect observed for these alloys. The average hyperfine field observed in the Mössbauer spectra decreases as theof the alloys decrease, confirming direct current magnetic measurements. Multiple peaks in the hyperfine field distribution are interpreted considering pairwise ferromagnetic or antiferromagneticbetween all elements except the Cu diluent as contributing to overall magnetic exchange in the alloy.
