Abstract
MnCoSi and MnCoSiB0.5 alloys were obtained by melt-spinning technique in order to attain polycrystalline microstructures with average grain sizes well below 10 microns. Phase distribution studied by X-ray analysis indicated single-phase materials with orthorhombic structure and TiNiSi-type crystal symmetry. Chemical homogeneity was verified by means of scanning electron microscopy, whereas magnetic behavior corresponded to soft magnetic materials with coercivity values lower than 20 Oe and saturation magnetization of 80?emu/g. Magnetocaloric response of these MnCoSiB alloys was characterized by a maximum magnetic entropy change of 1.0?J/kg K (for a magnetic field variation of 2.0 Tesla) and attractive refrigerant capacity over 100?J/kg, which represents a significant enhancement respect to equivalent MnCoGe alloys.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism serves as the international forum for the most current research and ideas in these fields. This highly acclaimed journal publishes peer-reviewed original papers, conference proceedings and invited review articles that examine all aspects of the science and technology of superconductivity, including new materials, new mechanisms, basic and technological properties, new phenomena, and small- and large-scale applications. Novel magnetism, which is expanding rapidly, is also featured in the journal. The journal focuses on such areas as spintronics, magnetic semiconductors, properties of magnetic multilayers, magnetoresistive materials and structures, magnetic oxides, etc. Novel superconducting and magnetic materials are complex compounds, and the journal publishes articles related to all aspects their study, such as sample preparation, spectroscopy and transport properties as well as various applications.
