摘要:

在5 ~ 340 K温度范围内,在9 T磁场下,测量了PrMn_(1.4)Fe_(0.6)Ge_2在TCPr、TNinter和TCinter的三个一级磁相变(FOMT),并研究了这些相变附近的磁热效应(MCE).与现有的MCE系统相比,两个FOMT在168 K附近从平面反铁磁性(AFl)到c轴铁磁性(Fmc),以及在157 K附近从Fmc态到c轴AFmc态的MCE都具有可接受的值。在25.5 K附近观察到了一个巨磁热效应(GMCE),它与场诱导的从AFmc到Fmc+F(Pr)态的FOMT有关,并有额外的Pr磁贡献.磁场变化为7 T时,MCE值为29.1 J/kg K,与性能最佳的MCE材料的报告值相当,甚至更大。特别是,巨大的MCE值为12.3 J/kg K,从0到1 T的相对较小的磁场变化是非常有益的应用程序,这一点,连同小的磁和热滞后,表明PrMn 1.4Fe 0.6Ge 2可能是一个有前途的候选人磁制冷应用在氢制冷温度范围内。

英文摘要:

Three first order magnetic phase transitions (FOMT) have been detected at TCPr, TNinter and TCinter over the temperature range from 5 K to 340 K at fields up to 9 T in PrMn1.4Fe0.6Ge2, and the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) around these transitions evaluated. The MCE of two FOMT from planar antiferromagnetism (AFl) to c-axis ferromagnetism (Fmc) around 168 K, and from the Fmc state to the c-axis AFmc state around 157 K have acceptable values compared with those of existing MCE systems. A giant magnetocaloric effect (GMCE) has been observed around 25.5 K associated with the field-induced FOMT from the AFmc to the Fmc+F(Pr) state with an additional Pr magnetic contribution. The MCE value 29.1 J/kg K with field change 7 T is comparable to and even larger than reported values for the best-performed MCE materials. In particular, the giant MCE value of 12.3 J/kg K obtained for the relatively small field change from 0 to 1 T is very beneficial for applications, and this, together with the small magnetic and thermal hysteresis, suggests that PrMn1.4Fe0.6Ge2 may be a promising candidate for magnetic refrigeration applications in the hydrogen liquefication temperature range.
