Influence of Al Substitution on Magnetocaloric Effect in La0.8-XAlXCe0.2Fe11.4Si1.6 Compounds
Abstract:
The influence of Al doping on the magnetic properties and magnetic entropy changes (ΔSM) of the La0.8-xAlxCe0.2Fe11.4Si1.6 (x = 0-0.2) compounds have been investigated around their Curie temperature TC. The incorporation of Al atoms is unfavorable for the formation of the NaZn13-type phase, however, it increases the TC by ~40 K, effectively decreases the magnetic hysteresis loss, and broadens the ΔSM-T curve at expense of the (ΔSM)max of the compounds. It is also revealed that Al doping content of x = 0.06 is an important composition knee point where the doped Al start to occupy the site of Rare-earth elements, leading to a turning point for the lattice constant, TC, and magnetic transition type.
