Abstract

The thermally induced first-order magnetic phase transition in a La(Fe_0.90Si_0.10)₁₃ compound has been observed at the Curie temperature T_C by using Lorentz microscopy in the Fresnel mode. On heating the specimen, the magnetic domains instantly disappeared at T_C due to the nature of the first-order phase transition. The coexistence of the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases was observed at T_C. The magnetic domain structure below T_C was unchanged by repeating the thermal cycles. This fact implies that the phase transition during thermal cycles does not induce any lattice defects that degrade the magnetocaloric effect.
