Abstract
ABSTRACT
NiMnGa-based Heusler alloys are known for their shape-memory effect. However, in this study, the focus will be on the magneto-thermal (magnetocaloric) properties of rapidly solidified Ni50Mn28Ga22 ribbons melt spun at 1300 and 1600 RPM as well as annealed bulk specimens. The ribbons, both as-spun and annealed, and the annealed bulk specimens were tested in a SQUID to determine the magnetic properties at a field of 50 kOe with a temperature step of 3 K in the temperature range 355–385 K. The magnetic data from the isotherms were used to achieve Arrott plots. Second-order transitions were observed in the materials at the TC temperature. The values of magnetic entropy ΔSm were calculated from the magnetic data and these were further used to calculate the values of refrigeration capacity RC. The highest RC value of 273 J/kg was obtained for 1300NMG5 800 where 1300, 800 and 5, represent the melt spinning rate in RPM, the annealing temperature in Celsius and the duration of annealing in hours, respectively. The values of ΔSm were similar for all the ribbons. To confirm the order of the magnetic transition, universal curves were plotted which led to the conclusion that the transformation at the Curie temperature is a second-order ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition.
期刊介绍:
Philosophical Magazine Letters is the rapid communications part of the highly respected Philosophical Magazine, which was first published in 1798. Its Editors consider for publication short and timely contributions in the field of condensed matter describing original results, theories and concepts relating to the structure and properties of crystalline materials, ceramics, polymers, glasses, amorphous films, composites and soft matter. Articles emphasizing experimental, theoretical and modelling studies on solids, especially those that interpret behaviour on a microscopic, atomic or electronic scale, are particularly appropriate.
Manuscripts are considered on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Philosophical Magazine Letters , that they have not been published already, and that they are not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
