Abstract

The development of zero and negative thermal expansion(i.e.,ZTE and NTE)materials is of crucial importance to the control of undesirable thermal expansion for high-precision devices.In the present work,ZTE and NTE were obtained in directionally-solidified MnxFe5-xSi3 alloys with a strong<001>texture,in striking contrast to positive thermal expansion in their isotropic counterparts.Magnetometry and in-situ X-ray diffraction(XRD)mea-surements were performed to uncover the origin of the anomalous thermal expansion.Magnetic measurements indicate a strong easy-plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy in the textured samples,where the magnetic moments are aligned within the ab plane of the hexagonal structure.Temperature-dependent XRD on the x=1 sample reveals a ZTE character in the ab plane that is coupled to a fer-romagnetic transition.As a result,the macroscopic ZTE(~0.22 × 10-6 K-1)in the x=1 sample can be attributed to the microscopic magneto volume effect within the ab plane,which is realized by the introduction of the<001>-textured microstructure.Besides,the competition between antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic exchange coupling leads to NTE in textured x=1.5 and 2 samples.Addi-tionally,textured x=1 sample displays enhanced magne-tocaloric properties as compared to the conventional counterparts with randomly-oriented grains.Consequently,this work demonstrates a new strategy toward the explo-ration of anomalous thermal expansion properties as well as the enhancement of magnetocaloric properties for materials with a strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy.
