Tailoring mechanical properties and magnetocaloric effect in LaFe11.8Si1.2 zXzHy (X = Al, Ga, In)

The ability of certain magnetic materials to change their entropy and/or temperature with the application and removal of a magnetic field (magnetocaloric effect, MCE) is a physical phenomenon that could lead to the realization of clean, energy-efficient heat pumping systems. We report a series of LaFe11.8Si1.1X0.1 compounds, where X = Al, Ga, and In, added in small concentrations, substantially reduce brittleness intrinsic to unsubstituted La(Fe1-xSix)13, while preserving or enhancing their giant MCEs 1. Room temperature powder X-ray diffraction confirms formation of LaFe11.8Si1.1X0.1 adopting the NaZn13-type structure as major phases, with ~10 to 15% of αFe impurity. Surprisingly, relatively large amounts of αFe do not deteriorate the magnetic field-induced entropy change (ΔS), yet the resultant alloys have much improved mechanical stability. The corresponding maximum ΔS are -18, -17, and -13 J kg-1 K-1 for X = In, Al, and Ga, respectively, in ΔH = 2 T in the vicinities of their respective Curie temperatures. The Curie temperatures of LaFe11.8Si1.1X0.1 materials can be increased to room temperature and above by hydrogenation, preserving the giant MCE. For example, a fully hydrogenated LaFe11.8Si1.1In0.1H2.3 exhibits maximum ΔS close to -16 J kg-1 K-1 at T~344 K and ΔH =2 T.
