Large Inverse Magnetocaloric Effects and Giant Magnetoresistance in Ni-Mn-Cr-Sn Heusler Alloys
The magnetostructural transitions, magnetocaloric effects, and magnetoresistance properties of Ni45Mn43CrSn11 Heusler alloys were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-dependent magnetization, and electrical resistivity measurements. A large inverse and direct magnetocaloric effect has been observed in Ni45Mn43CrSn11 across the martensitic and Curie transition temperature, respectiv...
متن کاملPhase Control studies in Gd5Si2Ge2 Giant Magnetocaloric Compound
A systematic set of annealings on arc-melted synthesized Gd5Si2Ge2 sample was performed. Through powder x-ray di raction (XRD) and magnetometry measurements we monitored the effect of varying the annealing time with constant temperature (T = 1473K) on the formation of the Monoclinic (M ) crystallographic phase fraction, which is the one responsible for the Giant Magnetocaloric E ect (GMCE) in t...
متن کاملCritical dependence of magnetostructural coupling and magnetocaloric effect on particle size in Mn-Fe-Ni-Ge compounds
Magnetostructural coupling, which is the coincidence of crystallographic and magnetic transition, has obtained intense attention for its abundant magnetoresponse effects and promising technological applications, such as solid-state refrigeration, magnetic actuators and sensors. The hexagonal Ni2In-type compounds have attracted much attraction due to the strong magnetostructural coupling and the...
متن کاملPhase relationships and structural, magnetic, and thermodynamic properties of alloys in the pseudobinary Er5Si4-Er5Ge4 system
The room temperature crystal structures of Er5SixGe4−x alloys change systematically with the concentration of Ge from the orthorhombic Gd5Si4-type when x=4, to the monoclinic Gd5Si2Ge2 type when 3.5⩽x⩽3.9 and to the orthorhombic Sm5Ge4 type forx⩽3. The Curie-Weiss behavior of Er5SixGe4−x materials is consistent with the Er3+ state. The compounds order magnetically below 30 K, apparently adoptin...
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...
