Özet

Low field magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of the compound LaMn 1.9Fe0.1Si2 have been investigated. Using the M-H data measured at various temperatures, we have derived the magnetic entropy change |ΔS| as a function of temperature and magnetic field, by using the Maxwell relation. The temperature dependence of the Landau coefficient has been derived by fitting the magnetization, using the Landau expansion of magnetic free energy and Arrott plots. The results show that LaMn1.9Fe0.1Si2 is ferromagnetically ordered around room temperature (285 K) and the nature of the phase transition at this temperature is found to be second order. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.
