ABSTRACTUpon the application of an external magnetic field, the magnetic spins in a material partially align with the field, thereby reducing the magnetic entropy of the spin system. When performed adiabatically, the specimen's temperature will rise. This temperature rise, δT, related to the entropy change by the heat capacity, is known as the magnetocaloric effect. Upon cycling the magnetic field, this effect can be used for transferring heat from one thermal reservoir to another, forming the basis for a magnetic refrigerator. Recently, NIST scientists predicted composite magnetic materials containing nanometer-size magnetic species could possess enhanced magnetocaloric effects [1-2], especially at high temperatures or low magnetic fields. Magnetic nanocomposites may be prepared in many different ways, and recent magnetocaloric effect data measured on Fe-doped gadolinium gallium garnets are presented to show both the effect of processing and a methodology for optimizing δT.

Gd5Si2Ge2-based alloys can exhibit a giant magnetocaloric effect (GMCE) which gives them the potential use in the cooling technologies[1].Through this studies, it can be found that the purity of Gd had a great impact on the magnetocaloric effect in Gd5Si2-xGe2-xZn2x alloys. When 3N Gd used and 2x=0.01, Gd5Si2-xGe2-xZn2x around the curie point of 280k get the maximum magnetic entropy change of 14.0 J/(Kg.K) under the external magnetic field change from 0 to 1T, but when 2N Gd used and 2x=0.05, Gd5Si2-xGe2-xZn2x around the curie point of 284.2k under the external magnetic field change 1T get the maximum magnetic entropy change 6.65 J/(Kg.K).

Effect of the magnetic prehistory on the temperature dependence of the heat capacity of the superconducting Pb, La, Sn. has been studied. As soon as the external magnetic field riches the valueHext=HCthe superconductivity is completely destroyed. The trapped flux was produced in the ring specimen after the magnetic field was turned off atT<TC. We observed a difference of the value of the heat capacity between zero field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) states in zero magnetic field for the ring specimen. It is found that the FC heat capacity is smaller than the heat capacity both in the normal and in superconducting states.

<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 present a mean-field study on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in RFe10X2, where X=Mo, V, and R=Gd, Tb, Ho, Tm, Dy, Er, Nd for X=V. For X=Mo, R=Dy, Gd, and Nd. The two-sublattice model, involving the 4f (rare earth) and 3d(Fe) sublattices, is used. For both systems, magnetization, magnetic heat capacity, magnetic entropy and isothermal entropy change ∆Sm are calculated for different magnetic fields in the 0-5T range and the temperature range from 0 to 700K. Direct and inverse MCEs are shown to take place in these ferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic compounds. For a field change ∆H=5T, the maximum isothermal magnetic entropy change has been calculated for ferromagnetic NdFe10Mo2 compound to be 6.6 J/K mol at Tc=441 K. Both direct, and inverse MCEs have been found in ferrimagnetic compounds, e.g., for TmFe10V2, with maximum -∆Sm= J/K mol at Tc=521K and ∆Sm=  J/K mol at TN=127 K. Mean-field analysis is suitable for handling the systems we report on. Further study on the lattice and electronic contribution to entropy is planned.

Abstract The magnetic and magnetocaloric properties were studied in a stuffed honeycomb polycrystalline antiferromagnet GdInO3. The onset temperature of antiferromagnetic ordering was observed at ~ 2.1 K. Negligible thermal and magnetic hysteresis suggest a reversible magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in the GdInO3 compound. In the magnetic field changes of 0–50 kOe and 0–70 kOe, the maximum magnetic entropy change values are 9.65 J/kg K and 18.37 J/kg K, respectively, near the liquid helium temperature, with the corresponding relative cooling power values of 115.01 J/kg and 211.31 J/kg. The MCE investigation of the polycrystalline GdInO3 serves to illuminate more exotic properties in this frustrated stuffed honeycomb magnetic system.

Low magnetic field magnetocaloric (MC) properties of La1-xSrxCoO3 (x=0.3 and 0.5) near phase transition from a ferromagnetic to a paramagnetic state were investigated. It is shown that the change of Sr content allows MC effect in La1-xSrxCoO3 to be tunable, which is more practical for construction of MC refrigeration. MC properties of the x=0.5 sample are significantly greater than that of the x=0.3 one. Furthermore, the results show that MC properties of La1-xSrxCoO3 samples are significantly larger, and comparable with some MC properties of many materials like Gd1-xCaxBaCo2O5.5 and Ge0.95Mn0.05. Keywords: magnetocaloric effect, La1-xSrxCoO3, magnetic entropy change.

The room-temperature magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of Cox(MnSb)1-x (x=0.07, 0.15, 0.24) alloys has been investigated. It is revealed that the Curie temperature TC and the magnetic entropy change ΔSM are sensitive to the Co content x. When x=0.15, the MCE of Co0.15(MnSb)0.85 alloy is optimal with ΔSM=1.8 J/kg.K at 324 K under an applied magnetic field of 3 T. A second-order phase transformation occurs around TC, and the magnetic hysteresis loss thermal lag is negligible. These features demonstrate that Co0.15(MnSb)0.85 alloy is a promising room-temperature magnetocaloric materials.

The effect of an external magnetic field on the hydration behavior of nanoscopic n-octane plates has been extensively investigated using molecular dynamics simulation in an isothermal-isobaric ensemble. The solute plates with different intermolecular spacing have also been considered to examine the effect of the topology of hydrophobic plates on the adsorption behavior of confined water in the presence of an external magnetic field with an intensity ranging from 0.1T to 1 T. The results demonstrate that magnetic exposure decreases the density of water for the plates with intermolecular spacing of a0 = 4 and 5 Å. This suggests that the free energy barrier for evaporation can be lowered by the applied field, and the hydrophobic solutes consisting of condensed n-octane molecules are apt to aggregate in the aqueous solution. In contrast, the magnetic field improves the dissolution or wetting of solutes comprised of loosely packed n-octane plates of a0=7Å. A magnetic-field-induced adsorption-to-desorption translation, which is in agreement with the experimental results provided by Ozeki, has also been observed for the plates with intermolecular spacing of a0 = 6 Å.
