Abstract

The effects of Ta substitution on the first-order phase transition have been firstly studied in Hf1-xTaxFe2 (x = 0.15, 0.165, 0.18) alloys with kagome-type lattice. Higher Ta substitution leads to the reduced metamagnetic transition temperature (Tt) from low-temperature ferromagnetism to high-temperature antiferromagnetism and paramagnetism. By doping C atoms, the Tt is gradually reduced and thermal hysteresis becomes widened in the alloys with higher Ta substitution. The critical field which triggers the metamagnetic phase transition is not substantially affected by interstitial C atoms. With increased Ta substitution, for the field change of 7 T, the maximum of magnetic entropy change (ΔSmax) of 3.7 J kg−1 K−1 is obtained at x = 0.15 and enhanced to 4 J kg−1 K−1 at x = 0.165 but reduced to ~ 3.21 J kg−1 K−1 in Hf0.82Ta0.18Fe2 alloy. By C addition, both Tt and the temperature where ΔS is maximized are shifted to a lower temperature, especially in the higher Ta-contained alloys.
