摘要
The effects of the introduction of Ce to La（1-x）CexFe（11.5）Si（1.5） alloys on 1：13 phase formation mechanism,the first-order magnetic phase transition strengthening characteristics,and magnetocaloric property were studied,respectively.The results show that the formation mechanisms of 1：13 and La Fe Si phases in La（1-x）CexFe（11.5）Si（1.5） alloys are the same as those of Ce2Fe（17） and CeFe2 phases in Ce–Fe binary system,respectively.The substitution of Ce in 1：13 phase which is limited can make the first-order magnetic phase transition characteristics strengthen,which can make thermal and magnetic hysteresis increase,the temperature interval of temperatureinduced phase transition decrease,and the critical magnetic field of field-induced magnetic phase transition（HC）increase,respectively.Owing to the lattice shrink of 1：13phase with the increase in Ce content,the Curie temperatures（TC） show a linear decrease.The maximum change in magnetic entropy gradually increases due to the decrease in temperature interval of temperature-induced phase transition,but the relative cooling capacities are all about80 Jákg-1at magnetic field of 2 T.
