Effects of Al and Fe solubility on the magnetofunctional properties of $$\mathrm{AlFe_2B_2}$$
Abstract
Bridgman single-crystal growth of $$\mathrm{AlFe_2B_2}$$ resulted in systematic Fe-Al lattice site substitution in the $$\mathrm{AlFe_2B_2 (Mn_2AlB_2}$$ -type structure, aka $$\mathrm{1 - 2 - 2}$$) phase along the direction of solidification. The Fe:Al ratio varied from 1.94 to 2.06. The $$\mathrm{1 - 2 - 2}$$ phase lattice parameters, magnetic transition temperatures ($$T_t$$) $$\mathrm{280 - 315}$$ K, magnetic entropy changes ($Δ S$) $$\mathrm{2.3 - 4.0 J / kg K}$$, heat capacity ($$C_p$$) $$\mathrm{117 - 147 J / mol K}$$, and thermal conductivity ($κ$) $$\mathrm{~ 2.4 - 11.5 W / m K}$$ all varied monotonically across the region of solubility. These findings confirm the sensitivity of the magnetic and thermal properties of the $$\mathrm{AlFe_2B_2}$$ compound to antisite defects. The interplay between Al and Fe lattice site occupancy and the resultant magnetic and electronic responses facilitates tailoring the properties of the $$\mathrm{AlFe_2B_2}$$ system for potential functional applications, including magnetic cooling.
