Abstract
Understanding the behavior of magnetocaloric materials when exposed to high-energy x-ray irradiation is pivotal for advancing magnetic cooling technologies under extreme environments. This study investigates the magnetic and structural changes of two well-studied magnetocaloric materials, (MnNiSi)1−x(Fe2Ge)x composition (x = 0.34) and LaFe13-x-yMnxSiyHz composition (x = 0.30,y = 0.1.26 and z = 1.53) alloys upon irradiation. The alloys were exposed to x-ray radiation with a dosage of a continuous sweeping rate of ∼>120 Gy min−1 and an absorbed dose of 35 kGy . Both the samples didn’t show any observable crystal change after irradiation. There was a considerable change in magnetization at low applied magnetic fields in magnetization versus temperature measurements from 2.72 emu g−1 to 4.01 emu g−1 in the irradiated (MnNiSi)1−x(Fe2Ge)x sample and 4.41 emu g−1 to 5.49 emu/g for the LaFe13-x-yMnxSiyHz alloys. The Magnetization versus magnetic field isotherms near transition temperature exhibited irradiation-induced magnetic hysteresis for the (MnNiSi)1−x(Fe2Ge)x (x = 0.34) while the LaFe13-x-yMnxSiyHz samples did not result in any irradiation-induced magnetic hysteresis. In both the samples the magnitude of entropy change did not change due to irradiation however, the peak entropy change shifted to different temperatures in both the samples, (MnNiSi)1−x(Fe2Ge)x (x = 0.34), showed a maximum entropy change, ΔSmag of ∼ 11.139 J/kgK at 317.5 K compared to ΔSmag of ∼ 11.349 J/kgK at Tave peak of 312.5 K for the irradiated sample. LaFe13-x-yMnxSiyHz, pristine sample exhibited a maximum magnetic entropy change, ΔSmag ∼ 18.663 J/kgK, with the corresponding peak temperature, Tave peak, of 295 K compared to ΔSmag ∼ 18.736 J/kgK, at Tave peak of 300 K. It was determined that irradiation applied to the samples did not induce any structural or magnetic phase changes in the selected compositions but rather modified the magnetic properties marginally.
