Abstract
In this paper, the magnetic phase transition and magnetocaloric effect have been investigated in the Fe2P-type MnFeP0.63Ge0.12Si0.25compound. The X-ray diffraction patterns measured at different temperatures indicate that the crystal structure remains and the lattice parameters change sharply near the transition temperature when a phase transition takes place. The isofield magnetization curves on heating and cooling and the Arrott plots reveal that the nature of the transition is first order. The characteristic of giant magnetocaloric effect results from the field-induced first-order metamagnetic phase transition, which makes the compound having potential applications in magnetic refrigeration.
