Fe2AlB2 is a low-cost, low weight and easily synthesized material composed of abundant elements for magnetocaloric applications near room temperature [1]. It is a ferromagnetic MAB phase with an orthorhombic crystal structure and a Curie-temperature TC = 274 K [2]. The low crystal symmetry of Fe2AlB2 leads to a significant magnetocrystalline anisotropy up to around 1 MJ·m−3 at 10 K. We determined the temperature-dependent magnetocrystalline anisotropy constants of a bulk Fe2AlB2 single crystal using the Sucksmith-Thomson method and broadband ferromagnetic resonance measured along principal crystallographic directions. Both methods show perfect quantitative agreement.
