Adiabatic temperature changes of(Gd1-xHox)5Si4 alloys is exactly investigated by a control and analysis system for ΔH=1.4 T, and the measurement results are trustworthy. Curie temperatures of these alloys are tunable in a wide temperature region, and decrease almost linearly with the increasing of Ho content. Magnetic entropy changes in the (Gd1-xHox)Si4 compounds are about 2.35 J/(kg·K) when magnetic field change are 0~1.4 T. The adiabatic temperatures of these alloys at Curie Points are larger than 1 K about 40% of that of Gd in a field change 0~1.4 T, and the curves of ΔTad are as wide as that of Gd. The relative cooling power RCP(S) or RCP(T) of these alloys are about 0.5~0.7 J·cm-3 and 42~50 K2 on the field 0~1.4 T, about 58% and 55% of that of Gd respectively.

La-Fe-M (M = Al, Si) compounds of high Fe content are excellent soft magnetic materials with NaZn13 structure. The Curie temperature of the compounds can be increased by substituting small amount of Co for Si, Al. The La(Fe1-xCoy)(x)Si13-x compounds with an appropriate ratio of Co and Si can produce giant magnetocaloric effect comparable to that for Gd5Si2Ge2 at room temperature. The La (FexSi1-x)(13) doped with H can also produce giant magnetocaloric effect at room temperature, which is much greater than that for Gd. For La (FexSi1-x)(13) compounds with low Si or high Si contents. The nature of phase transition near Curie temperature induced by temperature and magnetic field was described in detail.展开更多

The Curie points of (Gd1-xREx)Si4 alloys can tunable from 266 K to 336 K when RE=Dy, Ho; z=0N0.35 and 0-0.15, respectively, and decrease nearly linearly with increasing x. These alloys keep orthorhombic structures GesSm4 and exhibit second order transition when they experience in a change magnetic field at about Curie points. The weight and voluminal magnetic entropy changes are about 3.5 J/(kg.K) and 23-29 mJ/(cm^3.K) when magnetic field changes 0-2 T. The adiabatic temperatures changes (△Tad) of these alloys at Curie points are larger than 1 K in a field change 0-1.4 T, the curve of ATad is wide as that of Gd. The relative cooling power is about 0.8-0.9 J/cm^3 when field changes 0-2 T, 55% of that of Gd. Comparing with Gds(Si1-xGex)4, these alloys do not contain expensive element Ge, so that their cost are lower than the former. Because they could work at temperature region 260-340 K due to their Curie points can be tuned, which is an advantage comparing with Gd, these alloys are potential magnetic refrigerants working in a magnetic refrigerator with a low magnetic field at room temperatures.展开更多
