Abstract

The relative cooling power (RCP) was evaluated in the itinerant-electron metamagnetic (IEM) La(Fe_xSi_1-x)₁₃ after controlling T_C by hydrogenation and partial substitution of Ce for La. It is found that RCP is related to the temperature dependence of the IEM transition field B_C and the change in the magnetization ΔM at the first-order Curie temperature T_C. Since dB_C/dT is irrelevant to T_C, ΔM dominates the magnitude of RCP. The change of ΔM after controlling T_C is caused by stability of the ferromagnetic state because of the increase of the Fe-Fe distance due to hydrogenation and by the hybridization of electron bands between Ce and Fe in the partially substituted system.
