摘要:

具有大磁热响应的材料在磁制冷应用中非常受青睐。已有观点认为,强自旋-晶格耦合往往会产生大的磁热效应,但尚未有人提出微观机制。在本工作中,我们采用自旋晶格动力学模拟,考察了体心立方铁(Fe)和密排六方钆(Gd)中晶格对磁热熵变的贡献,其中交换相互作用参数由从头算计算确定。我们发现,密排六方Gd中的间接Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida(RKKY)交换相互作用会产生更长程的自旋-晶格耦合,并更强烈地影响低频长波声子。与具有短程直接交换相互作用的体心立方Fe相比,这使晶格对总磁热熵变产生更高的贡献。我们的分析为理解具有强自旋-晶格耦合的磁性材料中的磁热效应提供了一个框架。研究结果表明,长程间接RKKY型交换会使晶格对磁热熵变产生更大贡献,因此有利于磁热材料。

英文摘要:

Materials with a large magnetocaloric response are highly desirable for magnetic cooling applications. It is suggested that a strong spin-lattice coupling tends to generate a large magnetocaloric effect, but no microscopic mechanism has been proposed. In this work, we use spin lattice dynamics simulation to examine the lattice contribution to the magnetocaloric entropy change in bcc iron (Fe) and hcp gadolinium (Gd) with exchange interaction parameters determined from ab initio calculations. We find that indirect Ruderman Kittel Kasuya Yosida (RKKY) exchange interaction in hcp Gd leads to longer range spin lattice coupling and more strongly influences the low frequency long wavelength phonons. This results in a higher lattice contribution towards the total magnetocaloric entropy change as compared to bcc Fe with short range direct exchange interactions. Our analysis provides a framework for understanding the magnetocaloric effect in magnetic materials with strong spin lattice couplings. Our finding suggests that long range indirect RKKY type exchange gives rise to a larger lattice contribution to the magnetocaloric entropy change and is, thus, beneficial for magnetocaloric materials.
