Abstract
The solid-state magnetic cooling (MC) method based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is recognized as an environmentally friendly and high-energy-efficiency technology. The search or design of suitable magnetic materials with large MCEs is one of the main targets at present. In this work, we apply the chemical and hydrostatic pressures in the Ni35Co15Mn35−xFexTi15 all-d-metal Heusler alloys and systematically investigate their crystal structures, phases, and magnetocaloric performances experimentally and theoretically. All the alloys are found to crystallize in an ordered B2-type structure at room temperature and the atoms of Fe are confirmed to all occupy at sites Mn(B). The total magnetic moments decrease gradually with increasing Fe content and decreasing of volume as well. The martensitic transformation temperature decreases with the increase of Fe content, whereas increases with increasing hydrostatic pressure. Moreover, obviously enhanced magnetocaloric performances can also be obtained by applied pressures. The maximum values of magnetic entropy change and refrigeration capacity are as high as 15.61(24.20) J (kg K)−1 and 109.91(347.26) J kg−1 with ΔH = 20(50) kOe, respectively. These magnetocaloric performances are superior to most of the recently reported famous materials, indicating the potential application for active MC.
摘要
基于磁热效应的固态磁致冷方式被认为是一种环境友好且高能效的技术. 探索和设计具有大磁热效应的固态磁致冷材料是目前的研究重点之一. 本文通过在Ni35Co15Mn35−xFexTi15中引入化学压和等静压,在理论和实验上对其晶体结构、马氏体相变和磁热性能进行了研究.结果表明, 室温下, 样品呈现B2相结构, Fe原子倾向于占Mn(B)位. Fe含量降低、晶胞体积收缩均能导致总磁矩的降低. 马氏体相变温度随Fe含量增加而降低, 随等静压增强而升高. 此外, 施加等静压可获得显著增强的磁热效应. 在0–20(0–50) kOe场下, 最大磁熵变值(ΔS Mmax)和制冷能力(RC)分别达到15.61(24.20)J(kg K)−1和109.91(347.26)Jkg−1. 该数值优于最近报道的多数磁致冷材料, 表明Ni35Co15Mn35−xFexTi15体系有望成为固态磁致冷备选材料之一.
