摘要:

磁热材料可用于磁制冷应用中,但为了实用,磁制冷剂需要在室温附近具有非常大的磁热效应(MCE),用于具有小磁滞和磁致伸缩的适度施加场(<2特斯拉),并且应该具有完全的磁转变,是廉价的,并且是环境友好的。可以满足这些要求的一种系统是MnxFe 2-xP 1-yGey,其中在高温顺磁相和低温铁磁相之间发生组合的一级结构和磁性转变。我们已经使用中子衍射,差示扫描量热法,和磁化强度测量研究Mn和Ge的位置在结构上的有序磁矩,MCE,和磁滞的一系列组合物的系统接近最佳掺杂的影响。衍射结果表明,位于3f位的Mn离子增强了所需的性能,而位于3g位的Mn离子则是有害的。通过量热法直接测量的熵变可以超过40 J/kg-K。转变的相分数、转变的滞后和熵变可以通过组成均匀性和颗粒尺寸两者来控制,并且已经开发了退火程序,该退火程序实质上改善了材料的所有三种性质的性能。在这些结果的基础上,我们已经确定了一种途径,以优化该系统的磁制冷应用的MCE性能。

英文摘要:

Magnetocaloric materials can be useful in magnetic refrigeration applications, but to be practical the magneto-refrigerant needs to have a very large magnetocaloric effect (MCE) near room temperature for modest applied fields (<2 Tesla) with small hysteresis and magnetostriction, and should have a complete magnetic transition, be inexpensive, and environmentally friendly. One system that may fulfill these requirements is MnxFe2-xP1-yGey, where a combined first-order structural and magnetic transition occurs between the high temperature paramagnetic and low temperature ferromagnetic phase. We have used neutron diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and magnetization measurements to study the effects of Mn and Ge location in the structure on the ordered magnetic moment, MCE, and hysteresis for a series of compositions of the system near optimal doping. The diffraction results indicate that the Mn ions located on the 3f site enhance the desirable properties, while those located on the 3g sites are detrimental. The entropy changes measured directly by calorimetry can exceed 40 J/kg-K. The phase fraction that transforms, hysteresis of the transition, and entropy change can be controlled by both the compositional homogeneity and the particle size, and an annealing procedure has been developed that substantially improves the performance of all three properties of the material. On the basis of these results we have identified a pathway to optimize the MCE properties of this system for magnetic refrigeration applications.
