Martensitic transformation and magnetic entropy change in Co substituted Ni50Mn35−xCoxSn15 (x = 0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0) Heusler alloys have been investigated by X-ray powder diffraction analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and magnetic measurements. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the Ni50Mn35−xCoxSn15 alloys have L21 Heusler structure at room temperature. The phase decomposition of the sample with x = 3.0, after annealing 48 h at 1173 K, is confirmed by both X-ray powder diffraction analysis and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy in scanning electron microscopy. With the increase of the Co content from 0 to 2.0, the martensitic transformation temperature TM increases from 185 to 245 K, which is in good agreement with the rule of valence electron concentration e/a-dependence of TM. The magnetic entropy change ∆SM is investigated in the vicinity of the martensitic transformation.

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of the polycrystalline Gd 3 Ni 8 Al intermetallic compound are studied in this paper. Powder X-ray diffraction shows that the alloy is CeNi 3-type single-phase structure. The magnetic measurements indicate that the compound is ferromagnetic and undergoes a second-order phase transition at 62 K. The maximum of magnetic entropy change reaches 11 J/kg K for the field change from 0 to 50 kOe and the refrigerant capacity of the titled compound is found to be 4.8×102 J/kg.

In this paper the results of specific magnetization and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) measurements for Gd(Co1-xFex)2 system upon the Co substitution by Fe for the x = 0 ÷ 0.60 range are presented. Phase composition was controlled by X-ray diffraction analysis. MCE has been studied within the temperature range of 300-850 K in magnetic fields up to 17 kOe by the magnetic entropy change calculation (ΔSm). It was found that in contrast to the previously studied R(Co-Fe)2 compounds where R = Dy, Ho, Er, an ordinary symmetrical peak of ΔSm(T) in the vicinity of TC is observed for presented samples. Additionally, the MCE comparison of Gd(Co0.88Fe0.12)2 with that for the isostructural Gd(Ni0.88Fe0.12)2 compound having a plateau-like ΔSm temperature dependence is given. The obtained results are discussed.

The structural and magnetic properties of arc-melted alloys of Gd5Si2Ge2-xZnxin vacuum were investigated by powder x-ray diffraction and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer. When the addition amount of Zn substituted for Ge is less than or equal to 0.05, the alloys have monoclinic Gd5Si2Ge2-type phase structure, the magnetic entropy change of Gd5Si2Ge2-xZnx alloys rapidly increase, When x=0.05, the alloy has the excellent magnetic entropy change (|SM|). When the addition amount of Zn substituted for Ge is more than 0.05, the alloys have the orthorhombic Gd5Si4-type phase structure, the magnetic entropy change of Gd5Si2-xGe2-xZnxalloys rapidly decreases. The Curie temperature (Tc) of Gd5Si2Ge2-xZnx alloys linearly increases and the peak of |SM| is broader with the Zn amount substituted for Ge in Gd5Si2Ge2-xZnxalloys in x range from 0-0.15.

0.85La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/0.15GeO2composite material and pure La0.7Sr0.3MnO3were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, magnetometry and magnetic resonance methods. It was observed that both samples demonstrate the ferromagnetic properties, while the absolute value of the magnetization, the magnetic entropy change and the magnetic ordering temperature decrease in composite in comparison with pure La0.7Sr0.3MnO3. The magnetic resonance spectra of investigated (1-x)La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/xGeO2(x=0, 0.15) can be attributed to the superposition of magnetic resonance spectra from magnetically anisotropic particles with different orientations.

<p>In this work the results of measurements of heat capacity (C<sub>P</sub>) and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in Er(Co<sub>1-</sub><sub>х</sub>Fe<sub>х</sub>)<sub>2</sub> system in the concentration range 0.07 ≤ x ≤ 0.80 are presented. Phase composition was controlled by X-ray difraction analysis. Heat capacity was measured in the temperature range 77-320 K. MCE has been studied within the temperature range 5-670 K in magnetic fields up to 70 kOe. It was found that Fe concentration increase caused the table-like (plateau) MCE temperature dependence for both magnetic entropy change date and direct ∆T-effect measurements independently on Fe concentration. The possible reasons of such behavior are discussed.</p>

We report on a new method for preparation the magnetocaloric alloy Gd5Si4. By mechanical alloying under argonatmosphere and then melting sample by arc furnace, we produced the Gd5Si4 alloy. The structure and magnetothermalproperties of the alloy have been investigated with the help of powder X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements.This compound crystallized in the orthorhombic structure with space group pnma. In X-ray powder diffraction pattern, aminor orthorhombic GdSi2 phase was observed as a second phase. For this compound, the second order phase transitionwas observed. The maximum isothermal magnetic entropy change of the Gd5Si4 compound at 348K was found to be -10J/(kg K) in an applied field of 0.5T.

Effect of Co or Cu slightly introduced in Ni50Mn35In15on martensitic transformation and magnetocaloric effect was investigated. The small doping of Co can modify exchange interaction between Mn atoms, resulting in the ferromagnetic ordering of the parent phase and a large magnetization difference across the martensitic transformation. For Cu-doped sample, a large was obtained, and gives rise to a large magnetic entropy change of 58.4 J/kg K for 5 T near room temperature accompanying with smaller hysteresis losses. The study on the doping system may have significant impact on realization of room-temperature magnetic refrigeration.

The structure, martensitic transition and magnetic properties of Ni44Co6Mn40CuxSn10-x quinary alloy are investigated systematically. The substitution of Cu for Sn is found to reduce the symmetry of crystal structure, showing an evolution from cubic to tetragonal phase at room temperature. Two magnetic transitions were observed in the alloys, martensitic transition and Curie transition. The critical temperatures of martensitic transformation are found to increase nearly linearly with increasing valence electron concentration caused by Cu substitution for Sn, while Curie temperature of the austenitic phase decreases with the increasing Cu content in the alloys. The Ni44Co6Mn40CuxSn10-x alloys have a large magnetic entropy change across the martensitic transition, reaching 26.8 Jkg-1K-1 under a field change of 3T, because of the strong coupling between structure and magnetism, which shows a great applicable prosperity in magnetic refrigeration technology.
