Hydrostatic pressure effect on magnetic phase transition and magnetocaloric effect of metamagnetic TmZn compound
نویسندگان
چکیده
The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is an intrinsic thermal response of all magnetic solids which has a direct and strong correlation with the corresponding magnetic phase transition. It has been well recognized that the magnetic phase transition can be tuned by adjusting applied pressure. Therefore, we perform the high hydrostatic pressure magnetization measurements (up to 1.4 GPa) on a recently reported giant MCE material of TmZn. The results indicate that the Curie temperature of TC increases from 8.4 K at the ambient pressure to 11.5 K under the pressure of 1.4 GPa. The field-induced first order metamagnetic transition is getting weak with increasing pressure, which results in a reduction of MCE. The hydrostatic pressure effect on the magnetic phase transition and MCE in the metamagnetic TmZn is discussed.

Phase diagram and magnetocaloric effect of CoMnGe1−xSnx alloys
We propose the phase diagram of a new pseudo-ternary compound, CoMnGe1−xSnx, in the range x≤0.1. Our phase diagram is a result of magnetic and calometric measurements. We demonstrate the appearance of a hysteretic magnetostructural phase transition in the range x = 0.04 to x = 0.055, similar to that observed in CoMnGe under hydrostatic pressure. From magnetisation measurements, we show that the...
متن کاملCrystallography, anisotropic metamagnetism, and magnetocaloric effect in Tb5Si2.2Ge1.8
The metamagnetic-like transitions and giant magnetocaloric effect were observed with the magnetic field applied parallel to the aand c axes, but not the b axis in a Tb5Si2.2Ge1.8 single crystal. The in situ x-ray powder diffraction study indicates that these metamagnetic-like transitions are coupled to crystallographic phase transformations occurring via strong magnetoelastic interactions. The ...

We investigated magnetic and magnetocaloric properties in Sm1-xSrxMnO3 (x = 0.300.5). We report a magnetic field driven first-order metamagnetic transition in the paramagnetic state in x = 0.4 and 0.5 and a second-order transition in x = 0.3. The highest magnetic entropy (-Sm = 6.2 J/kgK for H = 5 T at T = 125 K) that occurs in x = 0.4 is associated with the metamagnetic transition resulting ...
متن کاملLarge reversible caloric effect in FeRh thin films via a dual-stimulus multicaloric cycle
Giant magnetocaloric materials are promising for solid-state refrigeration, as an alternative to hazardous gases used in conventional cooling devices. A giant magnetocaloric effect was discovered near room temperature in near-equiatomic FeRh alloys some years before the benchmark study in Gd5Si2Ge2 that launched the field. However, FeRh has attracted significantly less interest in cooling appli...

The search for materials showing large caloric effects close to room temperature has become a challenge in modern materials physics and it is expected that such a class of materials will provide a way to renew present cooling devices that are based on the vapour compression of hazardous gases. Up to now, the most promising materials are giant magnetocaloric materials. The discovery of materials...
