title: Electrolytic hydriding of LaFe(13-x)Si(x) alloys for energy efficient magnetic cooling.
abstract: An effective, low-temperature and readily available electrochemical method for tuning the operation temperature of LaFe(13-x)Si(x)-type alloys is demonstrated. Electrolytically hydrided materials have the same high level magnetic properties as in high temperature gas-phase processed materials and offer an advantage of higher hydrogen absorption rate in the ferromagnetic state.
