Title: Moment-Volume Coupling in La(Fe1-xSix)13

Abstract

We investigate the origin of the volume change and magnetoelastic interaction observed at the magnetic first‐order transition in the magnetocaloric system La(Fe 1− x Si x ) 13 by means of first‐principles calculations combined with the fixed‐spin moment approach. We find that the volume of the system varies with the square of the average local Fe moment, which is significantly smaller in the spin disordered configurations compared to the ferromagnetic ground state. The vibrational density of states obtained for a hypothetical ferromagnetic state with artificially reduced spin‐moments compared to a nuclear inelastic X‐ray scattering measurement directly above the phase transition reveals that the anomalous softening at the transition essentially depends on the same moment‐volume coupling mechanism. In the same spirit, the dependence of the average local Fe moment on the Si content can account for the occurence of first‐ and second‐order transitions in the system.

La (purple spheres) resides on the 8a Wyckoff position, FeI (bright blue) on 8b, while FeII (dark blue) and Si (yellow) share the 96i sites. In the calculation, a pseudodisordered configuration was used, where Si resides on specificmore » 96i site such that rhombohedral symmetry (space group 146) is retained.
