The microstructure, magnetic entropy changes, hysteresis and magnetic properties of La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（1.5–x）Si_x（x=0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7） compounds were studied by X-ray diffraction（XRD） and a sup...The microstructure, magnetic entropy changes, hysteresis and magnetic properties of La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（1.5–x）Si_x（x=0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7） compounds were studied by X-ray diffraction（XRD） and a superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer（SQUID）. The results showed that all the compounds presented cubic Na Zn13-type structure. Their Curie temperatures changed complicatedly with decreasing Al content due to changes of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interaction. Under a field change from 0 to 2 T, the maximum magnetic entropy change for La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（1.1）Si_（0.4）, La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（1.0）Si_（0.5）, La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（0.9）Si_（0.6） and La_（0.8）Ce_（0.2）Fe_（11.5）Al_（0.8）Si_（0.7） were found to be –9.6, –4.8, –5.8 and –11.7 J/（kg·K）, respectively. Moreover, their hysteresis losses were 1.13 J/（kg·K） or less. The large magnetic entropy changed and small hysteresis losses made them potential candidates for practical magnetic refrigeration application.展开更多
