摘要
Hydrogenation, crystal structure and magnetic properties of La（Fe0.91Si0.09）13H（D）y have been studied by pressure-composition isotherms （PCI）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） and magnetization measurements. The maximum absorption capacity is found to be 1.9 H（D） atoms per formula unit as a solid solution. All hydrides and deuterides crystallize in the NaZnl3-type cubic structure with the lattice parameter increasing linearly with H（D） concentration. The H（D） absorption enhances the Curie temperature significantly. The magnetic entropy change of the highly H-absorbed compound La（Feo.91Sio.09）13H1.81 reaches -26 J/kg-K under a magnetic field change of 5 T near the Curie temperature Tc =350 K. No observable isotope effect seems to imply that only the magnetovolume effect is responsible for the strong interplay between magnetism and lattice.
