Materials exhibiting the magnetocaloric effect could one day be the basis of a new magnetic cooling concept for consumer use, replacing conventional refrigeration technology. Since the magnetocaloric effect relies on a strong change of magnetization with temperature, usually these materials are employed close to a magnetic transition (e.g. FM to PM). Currently, most of the research in this field is dedicated to materials which undergo a structural transition that couples to the magnetic phase transition. In this way, large entropy changes and hence a large magnetocaloric effect can be achieved. However, very little is known about how the structural and the magnetic transition interact. Here, we report on low-temperature X-ray diffractometry experiments on magnetocaloric La(Fe,Si)13 with varying Si content. By comparing the volume changes caused by the structural transition with the magnetocaloric properties, a close relation between structure and magnetism is revealed.
