Achievement of a table-like magnetocaloric effect in the dual-phase ErZn2/ErZn composite

Abstract: Dual-phase ErZn 2 /ErZn composite was obtained by induction-melting method. The composite crystallizes in the phases of ErZn 2 and ErZn with the weight ratio of 53.8:46.2. The composite undergoes two successive magnetic phase transitions. And accordingly two peaks (partly overlapped) are appeared in the temperature dependence of magnetic part of entropy change S M (T) curves which resulting in a table-like magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and large refrigerant capacity (RC). The MCE parameters are comparable or eve… Show more

“…In the past decade, a large number of MCE materials have been reported [14][15][16][17][18][19][20], among which rare-earth (RE) based alloys show great significance for MR applications at cryogenic temperatures. In particular, those crystallizing in orthorhombic Ho 6 Co 2 Ga-type structures (space group Immm) could exhibit both inverse (positive ΔS iso under magnetization process) and direct MCE (negative ΔS iso under magnetization process) despite showing peculiar and complex magnetic behavior [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

“…Magnetic refrigeration, based on the magnetocaloric effect, is a promising technology due to its greater cooling efficiency, the possibility of building more compact (even portable) devices, and because it is environmentally friendlier than the conventional cooling processes based on the compression and expansion cycles of gas [1]. In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of investigations related to magnetocaloric materials, such as rare-earth-based intermetallic compounds [2,3,4,5,6], perovskite-type oxides [7], rare-earth cuprates [8], and others.…”
