The magnetic phase transition and magnetic entropy change of melt-spun LaFe11.6Si1.4Bx(x=0.0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) ribbons were investigated by measuring the magnetization as the function of temperature. Comparing with LaFe11.6Si1.4, the NaZn13-type structure of LaFe11.6Si1.4Bxdid not change after introducing B atoms, while the amount of α-Fe phase in the ribbons significantly decreased. The Curie temperature slightly changes after the addition of B. The LaFe11.6Si1.4Bx(x=0.3, 0.5) exhibits first-order magnetic transition and large magnetic entropy change as observed in LaFe11.6Si1.4compound. |
