The giant magnetocaloric effect is widely achieved in hexagonal MnMX-based (M = Co or Ni, X = Si or Ge) ferromagnets at their first-order magnetostructural transition. However, the thermal hysteresis and low sensitivity of the magnetostructural transition to the magnetic field in ...
We report on a study on a representative set of Fe2P-based MnFePSi samples by means of 55Mn NMR in both zero and applied magnetic field. The first-order nature of the magnetic transition is demonstrated by truncated order parameter curves with a large value ...
Approaching the border of the first order transition and second order transition is significant to optimize the giant magnetocaloric materials performance. The influence of vanadium substitution in the Mn1.2-xVxFe0.75P0.5Si0.5
(MnFe)2(P, Si)-type compounds are, to date, one of the best candidates for magnetic refrigeration and energy conversion applications due to the combination of giant magnetocaloric effect (MCE), tunable working temperature range and low material cost. The giant MCE in t ...
Given the potential applications of (Mn,Fe2(P,Si))-based materials for room-temperature magnetic refrigeration, several research groups have carried out fundamental studies aimed at understanding the role of the magneto-elastic coupling in the first-order magnetic tran ...
Temperature dependent high-resolution x-ray diffraction measurements were used to characterize the magneto-elastic ferromagnetic transition of (Fe,Mn)2(P,Si,B) compounds. Across the transition, apart from a change in lattice parameters across the transition, the internal coordina ...
Neutron diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, magnetometry, and in-field x-ray diffraction are employed to investigate the magnetoelastic phase transition in hexagonal (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) compounds. (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) compounds undergo for certain compositions a second-order paramagnetic ( ...
The high theoretical energy density of Li-O2 batteries as required for electrification of transport has pushed Li-O2 research to the forefront. The poor cyclability of this system due to incomplete Li2O2 oxidation is one of the major hu ...
Mn-Fe-P-Si compounds are, to date, the most promising materials for refrigeration and energy conversion applications due to the combination of giant magnetocaloric effect (GMCE) and low material cost. The nature of magneto-elastic transition was studied on both length- and time-s ...
Magnetic cooling is a highly efficient refrigeration technique with the potential to replace the traditional vapor compression cycle. It is based on the magnetocaloric effect, which is associated with the temperature change of a material when placed in a magnetic field. We presen ...
The spatial and temporal correlations of magnetic moments in the paramagnetic regime of (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) have been investigated by means of polarized neutron diffraction and muon-spin relaxation techniques. Short-range magnetic correlations are present at temperatures far above the ...
The longitudinal-field muon-spin relaxation (LF-μSR) technique was employed to study the spin correlations in (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) compounds above the ferromagnetic transition temperature (TC). The (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) compound under study is found to show itinerant magnetism. The standard d ...
Magnetic refrigeration near room temperature is considered as environmentally benign alternative for the current compressor based cooling technology. Two materials that are based on ferromagnetic transition metal compounds are considered as the most promising candidates to be use ...
Amongst magnetic materials that exhibit a giant magnetocaloric effect near room temperature, the(Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) system is one of the most promising candidates for magnetic refrigeration. Although the(Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) materials hold many advantages, controlling the magnetic entropy ch ...
(Mn, Fe)2(P, Si)-type compounds are, to date, the most promising materials for refrigeration and energy conversion applications due to the combination of highly tunable giant magnetocaloric effect (GMCE) and low material cost.[1, 2] The GMCE of these compounds originat ...
We report on various approaches to control the antiferro-ferromagnetic transition temperature of Mn1.2Co0.8Si0.2P0.8 and related materials for magnetocaloric applications. The effects of the Si substitution, Mn/Co ratio and B addition/substitution on MnCoP have been characterized ...
