摘要
The structure and magnetocaloric effect of Mn5-xFexGeSi2 compounds were studied.Analysis of X-ray powder diffraction and energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy revealed that Mn(5-x)Fe(x)GeSi(2)alloys with x < 1 crystallize in the Mn5Si3-type structure (space group P6(3)/mcm), maintaining the structure of Mn5Ge3; and alloys with x=1.5 and 2 consist of the major Mn5Si3-type phase and the minor Ni(2)ln-type phase (space group P6(3)/mmc). The results of Rietveld refinement showed that the cell parameters for the Mn5Si3-type phase decrease with increasing Fe content. The positive slopes in Arrott plots indicate that a second-order ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition occurs. The Curie temperature increases with increasing Fe content from 182 K for x=0.6 to 224 K for x=2. The maximum magnetic entropy change of 3.7J/(kg K) for x=0.8 was found under a magnetic field change of 0-20 kOe. (C) 2016 Elseveier B.V.All rights reserved.
