Abstract
The magnetocaloric effect(MCE) of the (Fe0.5Cu0.5)60Zr40 alloy has been investigated by phenomenological model, estimating magnetic entropy change (∆SM) and heat capacity change. The results indicate that MCE of (Fe0.5Cu0.5)60Zr40 alloy can be controlled and tuned by several magnetic fields. Furthermore, the study of ∆SM curves predicts how to expand the temperature range for exploiting (Fe0.5Cu0.5)60Zr40 in magnetic refrigeration. ∆SM reaches a peak of about 0.5 J/Kg K at 112 K with δTFWHM = 227 K and RCP = 102 J/Kg under 5 T applied field variation. (Fe0.5Cu0.5)60Zr40 alloy has a potential application for magnetic refrigerants over a wide temperature range, especially its high electrical resistivity leads to decreased eddy current losses, covering a significant range of temperature between 0 K and room temperature. Therefore, these advantages make (Fe0.5Cu0.5)60Zr40 alloy potentially practical for efficient cooling devices.
