Review of magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect in the intermetallic compounds of rare earth with low boiling point metals

Abstract: Abstract:The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in many rare earth (RE) based intermetallic compounds has been extensively investigated during last two decades, not only due to their potential applications for magnetic refrigeration but also for better understanding of the fundamental problems of the materials. This paper reviews our recent progress of magnetic properties and MCE in some binary or ternary intermetallic compounds of RE with low boiling point metal(s) (Zn, Mg, and Cd). Some of them are exhibiting promi… Show more

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Lots of efforts have been made to explore the room-temperature MCE materials for the potential application on household refrigerators or air conditioners, and the typical materials with high performance are Gd 5 Si 2 Ge 2 , 6 La(Fe,Si) 13 , [7][8][9][10][11] MnAs 1-x Sb x , 12 MnFeP 1Àx As x , 4 NiMnSn, 13 NiMnIn, 14,15 etc. In the past few years, much attention has also been paid on the MCE materials with low transition temperatures such as ErCo 2 , 16 DyCuAl, 17 HoCuSi, 18 TmZn, 19 ErCr 2 Si 2 , 20 ErMn 2 Si 2 , 21 and RNiBC (R ¼ Er, Gd) 22,23 because these materials are promising to be used for gas liquefaction in the magnetic cooling cycle or combined magnetic-gas cooling cycle. 24,25 The isothermal magnetic entropy change (DS M ) and the adiabatic temperature change (DT ad ) are two important parameters to evaluate MCE materials.…”

“…Another important quality factor of magnetic refrigerant materials is the relative cooling power (RCP) or/and refrigeration capacity (RC), defined29 usually as the product of −Δ and the full width at half maximum in the −Δ S M ( T ) curve, as an example, i.e. , T hot  −  T cold for Δ H  = 0–1 T in Fig.…”

“…After the discovery of the first magnetic refrigeration prototype near room temperature5 and the giant MCE in Gd 5 (Si 2 Ge 2 )67, a large MCE has been realized in a lot of materials in the past two decades, such as ReCo 2 (Re = Er, Ho, and Dy) alloys89, manganite oxides (Re, M)MnO 3 (Re = Lanthanide, M = Ca, Sr, and Ba)1011, Ni-Mn-X (X = Ga, In, and Sn) based Heusler alloys1213141516, MnAs based compounds3171819, La(Fe, Si) 13 and related compounds20212223, as well as rare earth based intermetallic compounds24252627282930. Amongst the families of MCE materials, the compounds with first-order magnetic transition (FOMT) have been found promising due to their large and/or sharp changes in magnetization and the strong coupling between crystallographic structure and magnetism, such as Gd 5 Ge 4− x Si x 7, MnAs 1− x Sb x 1831, MnFe(As, P, Si, Ge)1732, LaFe 13− x Si x (H δ )142123 and Heusler-type magnetic shape-memory alloys1416.…”
