MnNiGe $_{0.9}$ Ga $_{0.1}$的一级磁结构转变和磁热效应

First order magneto-structural transition and magnetocaloric effect in MnNiGe$_{0.9}$Ga$_{0.1}$

Pallab Bag, R. Nath

摘要:

通过X射线粉末衍射和磁化强度测量研究了MnNiGe $_{0.1}$ $_{0.9}$ Ga的一级磁结构转变($T_t\simeq95$ K)和磁热效应.随温度变化的X射线衍射测量结果表明,磁结构的转变仍然不完全下降到23 K,导致在低温下的反铁磁和铁磁相共存。在23 K时,高温Ni $_2$ In型六方铁磁相和低温TiNiSi型正交反铁磁相的比例分别为$\sim 40\%$和$\sim 60\%$.铁磁相分数随磁场的增加而增加,在磁场冷却条件下,当升温时,铁磁相分数处于非平衡态,并产生弱的重入相变。它显示了一个大的逆磁热效应的磁结构转变和传统的磁热效应的第二阶顺磁铁磁转变。发现表征磁制冷剂材料的性能的相对冷却功率与其他报道的磁热合金相比相当高。

英文摘要:

The first order magneto-structural transition ($T_t\simeq95$ K) and magnetocaloric effect in MnNiGe$_{0.9}$Ga$_{0.1}$ are studied via powder x-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements. Temperature dependent x-ray diffraction measurements reveal that the magneto-structural transition remains incomplete down to 23 K, resulting in a coexistence of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic phases at low temperatures. The fraction of the high temperature Ni$_2$In-type hexagonal ferromagnetic and low temperature TiNiSi-type orthorhombic antiferromagnetic phases is estimated to be $\sim 40\%$ and $\sim 60\%$, respectively at 23 K. The ferromagnetic phase fraction increases with increasing field which is found to be in non-equilibrium state and gives rise to a weak re-entrant transition while warming under field-cooled condition. It shows a large inverse magnetocaloric effect across the magneto-structural transition and a conventional magnetocaloric effect across the second order paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition. The relative cooling power which characterizes the performance of a magnetic refrigerant material is found to be reasonably high compared to the other reported magnetocaloric alloys.
