Abstract

The effect of Nd and Co substitution on magnetic entropy changes and hysteresis losses has been investigated for the cubic NaZn₁₃-type LaFe_13−xSixcompounds. Partially replacing La with Nd leads to a decrease of the Curie temperatureTC and an increase of the magnetic entropy change ΔS. Substitution of Co for Fe in La_0.7Nd_0.3Fe_10.5Si_1.5 can adjust T_C to around room temperature. A large ΔS of 15J∕KgK at T_C=280K for a field change from 0to5T and a small hysteresis loss close to zero near T_C have been obtained in La_0.7Nd_0.3Fe_10.7Co_0.8Si_1.5. The Co-doped NaZn₁₃-type LaNdFeSi compounds may be a suitable candidate for magnetic refrigerant near room temperature.
