Miao, X.F. Klaasse, J.C.P. Gama, S. Brück, E. Faculty Applied Sciences Department RST/Radiation, Science and Technology Date 2013-09-11 Abstract Structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of Mn2-xCrxSb compounds have been studied. In these compounds, a first order magnetic phase transition from the ferrimagnetic to the antiferromagnetic state occurs with decreasing temperature, giving rise to giant inverse magnetocaloric effects that can be tuned over a wide temperature interval through changes in substitution concentration. Entropy changes as high as 7.5?J/kg?K have been observed, and a composition independent entropy change is obtained for several different concentrations/working temperatures, making these compounds suitable candidates for a composite working material.
