The magnetic rare earth materials are utilized as the magnetic refrigerants in most cooling devices, and for many cooling application the Nd2Fe14B permanent magnets are employed as the source of the magnetic field. The status of the near room temperature magnetic cooling was reviewed.展开更多

Data analysis using profile refinement was carried out. The results show that at room temperature Si atoms occupy preferentially 4c, 8j, and I6k2 sites, and the magnetic moments of bath Nd and Fe are parallel to C-axis. At 77 K, the site occupations remain unchanged as in room temperature, while the calculated Nd magnetic moment direction has an angular deviation of 37.8 ° from C-axis.展开更多
