Ni-Mn-based metamagnetic shape memory alloys have been extensively studied due to their multifunctional properties including magnetocaloric effect (MCE), magnetoresistance effect, and magnetic-field-induced strain. However, the large intrinsic thermal hysteresis of these alloys sets a limit on further development for practical applications. Here, with a few atomic percent Al substitution, we greatly reduced the thermal hysteresis and transformation temperature interval while maintaining the large magnetization difference (ΔM) between austenite and martensite. The simultaneous achievement of a large ΔM and low thermal hysteresis leads to a remarkable enhancement in MCE upon Al substitution, and a maximum magnetic entropy change of 31.6 J/kg K is achieved under a field of 5 T in Ni₃₉Co₁₁Mn₄₀Sn₈Al₂. Furthermore, our in situ high-energy X-ray diffraction experiments show that the Ni₃₉Co₁₁Mn₄₀Sn₈Al₂ has good geometric compatibility between austenite and martensite, which accounts for the reduced thermal hysteresis in this alloy. This study is instructive for the development of high-performance magnetocaloric materials in the metamagnetic shape memory alloys.
