Abstract

The itinerant-electron metamagnetic (IEM) transition and magnetocaloric effects (MCEs) in cubic NaZn₁₃-type La_1-zCe _z(Fe_0.88Si_0.12)₁₃ with z = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 have been investigated. By partial substitution of Ce for La, the Curie temperature T_C decreases with decreasing the lattice constant. In addition, the isothermal magnetic entropy change ΔS_m and the adiabatic temperature change ΔT_ad due to the IEM transition are enhanced because of the increase of the entropy change caused by the latent heat. Therefore, the partial substitution of Ce for La in La(Fe _xSi_1-x)₁₃ is highly effective in the enhancement of MCEs.
