· JVASP-15316· LaFe2Si2

LaFe2Si2 is an intermetallic compound belonging to the rare-earth iron silicide family, characterized by a layered crystal structure combining lanthanum, iron, and silicon elements. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for magnetocaloric and thermoelectric applications, where the coupling between magnetic and thermal properties offers potential advantages over conventional cooling and energy conversion systems. Its appeal lies in the strong magnetic response and thermal sensitivity of rare-earth intermetallics, making it a candidate for next-generation solid-state cooling devices and waste-heat recovery applications, though it remains largely in the experimental phase with limited high-volume industrial deployment.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
