Title: Determining the vibrational entropy change in the giant magnetocaloric material LaFe 11.6 Si 1.4 by nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering

Abstract

Magnetocaloric $${\mathrm{LaFe}}_{13{-}x}{\mathrm{Si}}_{x}$$-based compounds belong to the outstanding materials with potential for efficient solid-state refrigeration. We have performed temperature-dependent $$^{57}\mathrm{Fe}$$ nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering measurements (in a field $${{\mu}}_{0}H$$ of $${\sim}0.7$$ T) of the vibrational (phonon) density of states, VDOS, in $${\mathrm{LaFe}}_{11.6}{\mathrm{Si}}_{1.4}$$ across the metamagnetic isostructural first-order phase transition at $${T}_{C}{\sim}192$$ K from the low-temperature ferromagnetic (FM) to the high-temperature paramagnetic (PM) phase, in order to determine the change in thermodynamic properties of the Fe lattice at $${T}_{C}$$. The experimental results are compared with density-functional-theory-based first-principles calculations using the fixed-spin moment approach. Our combined experimental and theoretical results reveal distinct and abrupt changes in the VDOS of the Fe sublattice across $${T}_{C}$$, occurring within a small temperature interval of $$\mathrm{{\Delta}}T{\le}12$$ K around $${T}_{C}$$. This indicates that strong magnetoelastic coupling (at the atomic scale) is present up to $${T}_{C}$$, leading to a pronounced lattice softening (phonon redshift) in the PM phase. These changes originate from the itinerant electron magnetism associated with Fe and are correlated with distinct modifications in the Fe-partial electronic density of states $$D({E}_{F}$$) at the Fermi energy $${E}_{F}$$. From the experimental VDOS we can infer an abrupt increase (jump) in the Fe-partial vibrational entropy $$\mathrm{{\Delta}}{S}_{\mathrm{vib}}$$ of $$+6.9\pm{}2.6$$ J/(kg K) and in the vibrational specific heat $$\mathrm{{\Delta}}{C}_{\mathrm{vib}}$$ of $$+2.7\pm{}1.6$$ J/(kg K) upon heating. The increase in magnitude of the vibrational entropy $$|\mathrm{{\Delta}}{S}_{\mathrm{vib}}|=6.9$$ J/(kg K) of the Fe sublattice at $${T}_{C}$$ upon heating is substantial, if compared with the magnitude of the isothermal entropy change $$|\mathrm{{\Delta}}{S}_{\mathrm{iso}}|$$ of 14.2 J/(kg K) in a field change $$\mathrm{{\Delta}}B$$ from 0 to 1 T, as obtained from isothermal magnetization measurements on our sample and using the Maxwell relation. Finally, we demonstrate that $$\mathrm{{\Delta}}{S}_{\mathrm{vib}}$$ obtained by nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering is a sizable quantity and contributes directly and cooperatively to the total entropy change $$\mathrm{{\Delta}}{S}_{\mathrm{iso}}$$ at the phase transition of $${\mathrm{LaFe}}_{13{-}x}{\mathrm{Si}}_{x}$$.
