Popis: | The crystal structure, magnetic transitional behaviors and magnetocaloric effect were investigated in Nd6Fe13Pd compound. The results show that Nd6Fe13Pd crystallizes in the tetragonal Nd6Fe13Si-type structure (space group I4/mcm) with the lattice parameters a = b = 8.0765 A and c = 22.3747 A and two magnetic transitions from the ferromagnetic to the antiferromagnetic states with Ttr = 173 K and from the antiferromagnetic to the paramagnetic states with the Neel temperature of 369 K occurred in the Nd6Fe13Pd compound. The magnetic transition between the ferromagnetic and the antiferromagnetic states can be induced by either changing temperature or applying a magnetic field with very small thermal and magnetic hystereses and the transition temperature is very sensitive to the applied field. The experimental results indicate a broad working temperature span and negative magnetic entropy changes around Ttr = 173 K. For a magnetic field change of 2 T, the maximum magnetic entropy change −ΔSM reaches to 4.4 J kg−1 K−1 with the corresponding refrigeration capability of about 125 J kg−1. |
