摘要
A very large magnetic entropy change DeltaS has been observed in Fe-based cubic NaZn13-type compound LaFe11.2Co0.7Si1.1 near the Curie temperature T-C of 274 K. The value of the entropy change is similar to20.3 J/kg K under a magnetic field of 5 T at T-C=274 K. It markedly exceeds that of pure Gd at the corresponding temperature range [V. K. Pecharsky & K. A. Gschneidner, Jr., Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 4494 (1999)]. The great entropy change produced by the sharp change of magnetization is associated with a large negative lattice expansion at T-C. The very large magnetic entropy change and low cost suggest that the compound LaFe11.2Co0.7Si1.1 has great potential for applications as magnetic refrigerants near room temperature.
