Our recent research on the Mn-based antiperovskite functional materials AXMn(3) (A: metal or semiconducting elements; X: C or N) is outlined. Antiperovskite carbides (e.g., AlCMn3) show large magnetocaloric effect comparable to those of typical magnetic refrigerant materials. Enhanced giant magnetoresistance up to 70% at 50 kOe (1 Oe = 79.5775 A.m(-1)) over a wide temperature span was obtained in Ga1-xZnxCMn3 and GaCMn3-xNix. In Cu0.3Sn0.5NMn3.2, negative thermal expansion (NTE) was achieved in a wide temperature region covering room temperature (alpha = 6.8 ppm/K, 150 K-400 K). Neutron pair distribution function analysis suggests the Cu/Sn-Mn bond fluctuation is the driving force for the NTE in Cu1-xSnxNMn3. In CuN1-xCxMn3 and CuNMn3-yCoy, the temperature coefficient of resistivity (TCR) decreases monotonically from positive to negative as Co or C content increases. TCR is extremely low when the composition approaches the critical points. For example, TCR is similar to 1.29 ppm/K between 240 K and 320 K in CuN0.95C0.05Mn3, which is one twentieth of that in the typical low-TCR materials (similar to 25 ppm/K). By studying the critical scaling behavior and X deficiency effect, some clues of localized-electron magnetism have been found against the background of electronic itinerant magnetism.
