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 NaZn13-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(Fe0.91Si0.09)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.
