Abstract
Solid-state refrigeration leveraging the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) presents a sustainable and energy-efficient alternative to traditional gas compression refrigeration technologies. However, the practical utility of most magnetocaloric materials is restricted by their narrow operational temperature window. In this work, a stable magnetocaloric effect across an ultrawide temperature range of 146–320 K was achieved in Hf0.85Ta0.15Fe2 magnet via the hydrostatic pressure manipulation. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism for the extended and stable MCEs under hydrostatic pressure has been revealed by magnetization measurements and first-principles calculations. The material systems characterized by strong spin–lattice coupling exhibit considerable potential for externally manipulated hybrid-field-tuned magnetic properties and magnetocaloric performance, providing a convenient and practical approach for advancing applications in magnetic refrigeration technologies.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
