Dataset on enhanced magnetic refrigeration capacity in Ni-Mn-Ga micro-particles.

ABSTRACT: The dataset presented in this paper is supporting the research article "Enhanced magnetic refrigeration capacity in Ni-Mn-Ga micro-particles" (Qian, et al., 2018) [1]. The martensite transformation temperature (Ms ) and the Curie point (Tc ) of the annealed alloys with nominal composition Ni55-xMn20+xGa25 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, atomic percent, labeled as A1, A2, A3 and A4, respectively) varied with x, yielding a temperature difference Tc -Mc of 7.2 K at x = 0.5 (A3). The magnetization difference (ΔM) between the austenite and martensite, the field dependence of transformation temperature (ΔT/ΔH) and the thermal hysteresis loss of A3 and the according stress relief annealing (SRA) particles were demonstrated. The isothermal magnetization curves of A3 and the SRA particles were measured in order to determine the magnetocaloric effect.

Enhanced magnetic refrigeration properties in Mn-rich Ni-Mn-Sn ribbons by optimal annealing.

Project description:The influence of annealing time on temperature range of martensitic phase transition (ΔT(A-M)), thermal hysteresis (ΔThys), magnetic hysteresis loss (ΔMhys), magnetic entropy change (ΔS(M)) and relative refrigeration capacity (RC) of the Mn-rich Ni43Mn46Sn11 melt spun ribbons have been systematically studied. By optimal annealing, an extremely large ΔS(M) of 43.2 J.kg(-1)K(-1) and a maximum RC of 221.0 J.kg(-1) could be obtained respectively in a field change of 5 T. Both ΔT(A-M) and ΔThys decreases after annealing, while ΔMhys and ΔS(M) first dramatically increase to a maximum then degenerates as increase of annealing time. A large effective cooling capacity (RC(eff)) of 115.4 J.kg(-1) was achieved in 60 min annealed ribbons, which increased 75% compared with that unannealed ribbons. The evolution of magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect has been discussed and proved by atomic ordering degree, microstructure and composition analysis.

Magnetic field-induced rubber-like behavior in Ni-Mn-Ga particles/polymer composite.

Project description:Single crystalline Ni-Mn-Ga is well known as a prototype ferromagnetic shape memory alloy (FSMA) exhibiting a giant magnetic field-induced strain (MFIS), up to 12%, due to the magnetically driven twin boundary rearrangement. The large stroke and fast magnetomechanical response make it important for actuators and sensors. Polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga is inexpensive and technologically easy accessible, but constrains from the grain boundaries inhibit the twin boundary motion, whereby a very low MFIS is observed. Here, we have shown for the first time that a polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga can be split into the magnetostrain-active single grains which, being specially assembled in a silicone polymer matrix, caused large and fully reversible MFIS of the resulting composite. We termed the unique reversibility of a large MFIS of the composite as the magnetic field-induced rubber-like behavior. The magnetostrain of individual particles was explored by the X-ray μCT 3D imaging. The results suggest novel solutions for development of the low cost magnetic actuators and sensors for haptic applications.

Tunable Magnetocaloric Effect in Ni-Mn-Ga Microwires.

Project description:Magnetic refrigeration is of great interest due to its high energy efficiency, environmental friendliness and low cost. However, undesired hysteresis losses, concentrated working temperature interval (WTI) and poor mechanical stability are vital drawbacks that hinder its practical application. Off-stoichiometric Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys are capable of giant magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and tunable transformation temperatures. Here, by creating Ni-Mn-Ga microwires with diameter of 35-80 ?m using a melt-extraction technique, negligible hysteresis and relatively good mechanical stability are found due to the high specific surface area (SSA) that reduces incompatibility between neighboring grains. The high SSA also favors the element evaporation at high temperatures so that the transformation temperatures can be feasibly adjusted. Tunable magnetocaloric effect owing to different magneto-structural coupling states is realized by (i) composition design and subsequent tuning, which adjusts the temperature difference between the martensite transformation (MT) and the magnetic transition, and (ii) creation of gradient composition distribution state, which manipulates the MT range. Magnetic entropy change ?Sm ~-18.5?J?kg-1 K-1 with relatively concentrated WTI and WTI up to ~60?K with net refrigeration capacity ~240?J?kg-1 at 50?kOe are demonstrated in the present Ni-Mn-Ga microwires. This criterion is also applicable for other small-sized materials.

Crystallographic Characterization on Polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga Alloys with Strong Preferred Orientation.

Project description:Heusler type Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys can demonstrate excellent magnetic shape memory effect in single crystals. However, such effect in polycrystalline alloys is greatly weakened due to the random distribution of crystallographic orientation. Microstructure optimization and texture control are of great significance and challenge to improve the functional behaviors of polycrystalline alloys. In this paper, we summarize our recent progress on the microstructure control in polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga alloys in the form of bulk alloys, melt-spun ribbons and thin films, based on the detailed crystallographic characterizations through neutron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction. The presented results are expected to offer some guidelines for the microstructure modification and functional performance control of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys.

Reversible tuning of magnetocaloric Ni-Mn-Ga-Co films on ferroelectric PMN-PT substrates.

Project description:Tuning functional properties of thin caloric films by mechanical stress is currently of high interest. In particular, a controllable magnetisation or transition temperature is desired for improved usability in magnetocaloric devices. Here, we present results of epitaxial magnetocaloric Ni-Mn-Ga-Co thin films on ferroelectric Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.72Ti0.28O3 (PMN-PT) substrates. Utilizing X-ray diffraction measurements, we demonstrate that the strain induced in the substrate by application of an electric field can be transferred to the thin film, resulting in a change of the lattice parameters. We examined the consequences of this strain on the magnetic properties of the thin film by temperature- and electric field-dependent measurements. We did not observe a change of martensitic transformation temperature but a reversible change of magnetisation within the austenitic state, which we attribute to the intrinsic magnetic instability of this metamagnetic Heusler alloy. We demonstrate an electric field-controlled entropy change of about 31?% of the magnetocaloric effect - without any hysteresis.

Influencing Martensitic Transition in Epitaxial Ni-Mn-Ga-Co Films with Large Angle Grain Boundaries.

Project description:Magnetocaloric materials based on field-induced first order transformations such as Ni-Mn-Ga-Co are promising for more environmentally friendly cooling. Due to the underlying martensitic transformation, a large hysteresis can occur, which in turn reduces the efficiency of a cooling cycle. Here, we analyse the influence of the film microstructure on the thermal hysteresis and focus especially on large angle grain boundaries. We control the microstructure and grain boundary density by depositing films with local epitaxy on different substrates: Single crystalline MgO(0 0 1), MgO(1 1 0) and Al2O3(0 0 0 1). By combining local electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and global texture measurements with thermomagnetic measurements, we correlate a smaller hysteresis with the presence of grain boundaries. In films with grain boundaries, the hysteresis is decreased by about 30% compared to single crystalline films. Nevertheless, a large grain boundary density leads to a broadened transition. To explain this behaviour, we discuss the influence of grain boundaries on the martensitic transformation. While grain boundaries act as nucleation sites, they also lead to different strains in the material, which gives rise to various transition temperatures inside one film. We can show that a thoughtful design of the grain boundary microstructure is an important step to optimize the hysteresis.

New Heusler compounds in Ni-Mn-In and Ni-Mn-Sn alloys.

Project description:Rapidly quenched ternary Ni-Mn-T (T?=?In, Sn) alloys exhibit features associated with magnetic skyrmions, so that XRD, TEM, EDS, SAED and HREM investigations were carried out for structural characterization on the two alloy systems. In this paper, we report a new type of Mn-rich Heusler compound with a cubic unit cell, a?=?0.9150?nm in Ni-Mn-In and a?=?0.9051?nm in Ni-Mn-Sn, which coexist with a Ni-rich full-Heusler compound with defects, a?=?0.6094?nm in Ni-Mn-In and a?=?0.6034?nm in Ni-Mn-Sn. A further analysis of the experimental results reveals a close structural relationship between these two compounds.

Following the Martensitic Configuration Footprints in the Transition Route of Ni-Mn-Ga Magnetic Shape Memory Films: Insight into the Role of Twin Boundaries and Interfaces.

Project description:Magnetic shape memory Heuslers have a great potential for their exploitation in next-generation cooling devices and actuating systems, due to their "giant" caloric and thermo/magnetomechanical effects arising from the combination of magnetic order and a martensitic transition. Thermal hysteresis, broad transition range, and twinning stress are among the major obstacles preventing the full exploitation of these materials in applications. Using Ni-Mn-Ga seven-modulated epitaxial thin films as a model system, we investigated the possible links between the phase transition and the details of the twin variants configuration in the martensitic phase. We explored the crystallographic relations between the martensitic variants from the atomic-scale to the micro-scale through high-resolution techniques and combined this information with the direct observation of the evolution of martensitic twin variants vs. temperature. Based on our multiscale investigation, we propose a route for the martensitic phase transition, in which the interfaces between different colonies of twins play the major role of initiators for both the forward and reverse phase transition. Linking the martensitic transition to the martensitic configuration sheds light onto the possible mechanisms influencing the transition and paves the way towards microstructure engineering for the full exploitation of shape memory Heuslers in different applications.

Observation of spin-polarized photoconductivity in (Ga,Mn)As/GaAs heterojunction without magnetic field.

Project description:In the absent of magnetic field, we have observed the anisotropic spin polarization degree of photoconduction (SPD-PC) in (Ga,Mn)As/GaAs heterojunction. We think three kinds of mechanisms contribute to the magnetic related signal, (i) (Ga,Mn)As self-producing due to the valence band polarization, (ii) unequal intensity of left and right circularly polarized light reaching to GaAs layer to excite unequal spin polarized carriers in GaAs layer, and (iii) (Ga,Mn)As as the spin filter layer for spin transport from GaAs to (Ga,Mn)As. Different from the previous experiments, the influence coming from the Zeeman splitting induced by an external magnetic field can be avoided here. While temperature dependence experiment indicates that the SPD-PC is mixed with the magnetic uncorrelated signals, which may come from current induced spin polarization.

High-efficiency magnetic refrigeration using holmium.

Project description:Magnetic refrigeration (MR) is a method of cooling matter using a magnetic field. Traditionally, it has been studied for use in refrigeration near room temperature; however, recently MR research has also focused on a target temperature as low as 20 K for hydrogen liquefaction. Most research to date has employed high magnetic fields (at least 5 T) to obtain a large entropy change, which requires a superconducting magnet and, therefore, incurs a large energy cost. Here we propose an alternative highly efficient cooling technique in which small magnetic field changes, Δμ0H ≤ 0.4 T, can obtain a cooling efficiency of -ΔSM/Δμ0H = 32 J kg-1K-1T-1, which is one order of magnitude higher than what has been achieved using typical magnetocaloric materials. Our method uses holmium, which exhibits a steep magnetization change with varying temperature and magnetic field. The proposed technique can be implemented using permanent magnets, making it a suitable alternative to conventional gas compression-based cooling for hydrogen liquefaction.
