Stability of magnetocaloric La(FexCoySi1-x-y)13 in water and air

Stability of cobalt-doped lanthanum iron silicide, La(FexCoySi1-x-y)13 have been investigated under conditions required for magnetocaloric refrigeration. The XRD analysis revealed that both milled and non-milled samples stored in water loose a few Bragg peaks corresponding to the NaZn13 phase of La(...
