The structure and magnetic properties of Dy2AlFe14Mn2 compound were investigated by X-ray diffractometry and magnetization measurements.Dy2AlFe14Mn2 compound has a hexagonal Th2Ni17-type structure.Zero thermal expansion and negative thermal expansion were found in Dy2AlFe14Mn2 compound in the temperature range from 184 to 264 K,and from 264 to 383 K,respectively,by X-ray dilatometry.The spontaneous magnetostrictive deformations from 104 to 400 K were calculated.The results show that the spontaneous volume magnetostrictive deformation increases firstly with increasing temperature,and then decreases with further increasing temperature.
