Abstract
By means of time-and temperature-dependent magnetization measurements, we demonstrate that the timescale of hydrogen diffusion in partially hydrogenated LaFe13-xSixHy is of the order of hours, when the material is held at temperatures close to its as-prepared Curie temperature, T-C0. The diffusion constant is estimated to be D approximate to 10(-15)-10(-16) m(2) s(-1) at room temperature. We examine the evolution of a magnetically phase-separated state upon annealing for 3 days at a range of temperatures around T-C0 and show that the thermodynamic driving force behind hydrogen diffusion and phase segregation may be attributed to the lower free energy of hydrogen interstitials in the ferromagnetic state relative to the paramagnetic state.
