Magnetic relaxation dynamics driven by the first-order character of magnetocaloric La(Fe,Mn,Si)13.

ABSTRACT: Here, we study the temporal evolution of the magnetic field-driven paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition in the La(Fe,Mn,Si)13 material family. Three compositions are chosen that show varying strengths of the first-order character of the transition, as determined by the relative magnitude of their magnetic hysteresis and temperature separation between the zero-field transition temperature Tc and the temperature Tcrit, where the transition becomes continuous. Systematic variations in the fixed field, isothermal rate of relaxation are observed as a function of temperature and as a function of the degree of first-order character. The relaxation rate is reduced in more weakly first-order compositions and is also reduced as the temperature is increased towards Tcrit At temperatures above Tcrit, the metastability of the transition vanishes along with its associated temporal dynamics.This article is part of the themed issue 'Taking the temperature of phase transitions in cool materials'.

A Short Review on the Evolution of Magnetocaloric La(Fe,Si)13 and Its Fabrication through Melt Spinning.

Project description:Energy-efficient refrigeration technology needs to advance ineluctably due to rising energy consumption and diminishing fossil fuel and primitive hydrocarbon reserves. Further, the existing gas compression method releases huge amount of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that deplete the ozone layer. This is a global concern, which demands an immediate remedial technology. As a potential solution to the problem of sustainability and a means of meeting the ever-increasing demand for energy, environmentally friendly and socially responsible renewable energy sources could serve as an ideal replacement for traditional refrigeration technology. Solid-state refrigeration using magnetocaloric materials is one prominent technique that can be adopted for clean and economical refrigeration or cooling requirements. In this review, we briefly introduce the present understanding on magnetocaloric LaFe13-xSix alloys with a specific emphasis on their application in magnetic refrigeration. This paper deals with the advantages and disadvantages of different synthesis methods for producing LaFe13-xSix and enhancing its magnetocaloric effects. Annealing time, yield, composition, and relative cooling power are examined as prospective industrial implementation factors for the La(Fe,Si)13 synthesis process. The initial sections have been devoted to an overview of the magnetocaloric effect and its different types and history. Further, the article reviews the evolution of a new preparation method called melt spinning, other synthesizing methods, and some developments around the world for the prototypes of La(Fe,Si)-based magnetic refrigeration methods. According to the findings in the scholarly literature, the synthesis process of melt spinning has the potential to be commercialized because of its capacity to create huge quantities of La(Fe,Si)13 with a high purity in a very short amount of time.

Tuneable Giant Magnetocaloric Effect in (Mn,Fe)₂(P,Si) Materials by Co-B and Ni-B Co-Doping.

Project description:The influence of Co (Ni) and B co-doping on the structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of (Mn,Fe) 2 (P,Si) compounds is investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, magnetic and direct temperature change measurements. It is found that Co (Ni) and B co-doping is an effective approach to tune both the Curie temperature and the thermal hysteresis of (Mn,Fe) 2 (P,Si) materials without losing either the giant magnetocaloric effect or the positive effect of the B substitution on the mechanical stability. An increase in B concentration leads to a rapid decrease in thermal hysteresis, while an increase in the Co or Ni concentration hardly changes the thermal hysteresis of the (Mn,Fe) 2 (P,Si) compounds. However, the Curie temperature decreases slowly as a function of the Co or Ni content, while it increases dramatically for increasing B concentration. Hence, the co-substitution of Fe and P by Co (Ni) and B, respectively, offers a new control parameter to adjust the Curie temperature and reduce the thermal hysteresis of the (Mn,Fe) 2 (P,Si) materials.

Magnetostructural transformation and magnetocaloric effect of Sn-bonded Mn0.66Fe0.34Ni0.66Fe0.34Si0.66Ge0.34 composite.

Project description:Magnetostructural coupling in MnMX (M = Co or Ni, X = Si or Ge) system attracts considerable attention for the accompanied multi-magnetoresponsive effects. However, due to the large stress generated from the structural transformation, the alloys become shattered or powder-like, hindering the further investigation and their applications. The possible solution is to embed the MnMX powders into metal matrix. In this paper, we choose Mn0.66Fe0.34Ni0.66Fe0.34Si0.66Ge0.34 as a representative of MnMX alloy and produce Mn0.66Fe0.34Ni0.66Fe0.34Si0.66Ge0.34/Sn composite bulk by hot pressing. The magnetostructural-coupled composites exhibit an improved rate of the transformation temperature shift by magnetic field and broadened operating temperature range. Additionally, we also propose a simple formula based on the entropy-temperature diagram to calculate the isothermal entropy change, which is consistent with the results obtained by the Maxwell relation.

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.

Magnetocaloric and Giant Magnetoresistance Effects in La-Ba-Mn-Ti-O Epitaxial Thin Films: Influence of Phase Transition and Magnetic Anisotropy

Project description:Magnetic perovskite films have promising properties for use in energy-efficient spintronic devices and magnetic refrigeration. Here, an epitaxial ferromagnetic La0.67Ba0.33Mn0.95Ti0.05O3 (LBMTO-5) thin film was grown on SrTiO3(001) single crystal substrate by pulsed laser deposition. High-resolution X-ray diffraction proved the high crystallinity of the film with tetragonal symmetry. The magnetic, magnetocaloric and magnetoresistance properties at different directions of the applied magnetic field with respect to the ab plane of the film were investigated. An in-plane uni-axial magnetic anisotropy was evidenced. The LBMTO-5 epilayer exhibits a second-order ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition around 234 K together with a metal–semiconductor transition close to this Curie temperature (TC). The magnetic entropy variation under 5 T induction of a magnetic field applied parallel to the film surface reaches a maximum of 17.27 mJ/cm3 K. The relative cooling power is 1400 mJ/cm3 K (53% of the reference value reported for bulk Gd) for the same applied magnetic field. Giant magnetoresistance of about 82% under 5 T is obtained at a temperature close to TC. Defined as the difference between specific resistivity obtained under 5 T with the current flowing along the magnetic easy axis and the magnetic field oriented transversally to the current, parallel and perpendicular to the sample plane, respectively, the in-plane magneto-resistance anisotropy in 5 T is about 9% near the TC.

Evolution of Vibrational Spectra in the Manganese-Silicon Clusters Mn2Sin, n = 10, 12, and 13, and Cationic [Mn2Si13].

Project description:A comparison of DFT-computed and measured infrared spectra reveals the ground state structures of a series of gas-phase silicon clusters containing a common Mn2 unit. Mn2Si12 and [Mn2Si13]+ are both axially symmetric, allowing for a clean separation of the vibrational modes into parallel (a1) and perpendicular (e1) components. Information about the Mn-Mn and Mn-Si bonding can be extracted by tracing the evolution of these modes as the cluster increases in size. In [Mn2Si13]+, where the antiprismatic core is capped on both hexagonal faces, a relatively simple spectrum emerges that reflects a pseudo-D6d geometry. In cases where the cluster is more polar, either because there is no capping atom in the lower face (Mn2Si12) or the capping atom is present but displaced off the principal axis (Mn2Si13), the spectra include additional features derived from vibrational modes that are forbidden in the parent antiprism.

Critical dependence of magnetostructural coupling and magnetocaloric effect on particle size in Mn-Fe-Ni-Ge compounds.

Project description:Magnetostructural coupling, which is the coincidence of crystallographic and magnetic transition, has obtained intense attention for its abundant magnetoresponse effects and promising technological applications, such as solid-state refrigeration, magnetic actuators and sensors. The hexagonal Ni2In-type compounds have attracted much attraction due to the strong magnetostructural coupling and the resulted giant negative thermal expansion and magnetocaloric effect. However, the as-prepared samples are quite brittle and naturally collapse into powders. Here, we report the effect of particle size on the magnetostructural coupling and magnetocaloric effect in the Ni2In-type Mn-Fe-Ni-Ge compound, which undergoes a large lattice change across the transformation from paramagnetic austenite to ferromagnetic martensite. The disappearance of martensitic transformation in a large amount of austenitic phase with reducing particle size, to our best knowledge, has not been reported up to now. The ratio can be as high as 40.6% when the MnNi0.8Fe0.2Ge bulk was broken into particles in the size range of 5~15 μm. Meanwhile, the remained magnetostructural transition gets wider and the magnetic hysteresis becomes smaller. As a result, the entropy change drops, but the effective cooling power RCeffe increases and attains to the maximum at particles in the range of 20~40 μm. These observations provide constructive information and highly benefit practical applications for this class of novel magnetoresponse materials.

Optical and Piezoelectric Study of KNN Solid Solutions Co-Doped with La-Mn and Eu-Fe.

Project description:The solid-state method was used to synthesize single phase potassium-sodium niobate (KNN) co-doped with the La3+-Mn4+ and Eu3+-Fe3+ ion pairs. Structural determination of all studied solid solutions was accomplished by XRD and Rietveld refinement method. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies were performed to determine the oxidation state of paramagnetic centers. Optical spectroscopy measurements, excitation, emission and decay lifetime were carried out for each solid solution. The present study reveals that doping KNN with La3+-Mn4+ and Eu3+-Fe3+ at concentrations of 0.5 mol % and 1 mol %, respectively, improves the ferroelectric and piezoelectric behavior and induce the generation of optical properties in the material for potential applications.

Reverse Magnetization Behavior Investigation of Mn-Al-C-(α-Fe) Nanocomposite Alloys with Different α-Fe Content Using First-Order Reversal Curves Analysis

Project description:The reverse magnetization behavior for bulk composite alloys containing Mn-Al-C and α-Fe nanoparticles (NPs) has been investigated by hysteresis loops, recoil, and first-order reversal curves (FORC) analysis. The effect of adding different percentages of α-Fe (5, 10, 15, and 20 wt. %) on the magnetic properties and demagnetization behavior of Mn-Al-C nanostructured bulk magnets was investigated. The fabricated nanocomposites were characterized by XRD and VSM for structural analysis and magnetic behavior investigations, respectively. The demagnetization curve of the sample Mn-Al-C-5wt. % α-Fe showed a single hard magnetic behavior and showed the highest increase in remanence magnetization compared to the sample without α-Fe, and therefore this combination was selected as the optimal composition for FORC analysis. Magnetic properties for Mn-Al-C-5 wt. % α-Fe nanocomposite were obtained as Ms = 75 emu/g, Mr = 46 emu/g, Hc = 3.3 kOe, and (BH)max = 1.6 MGOe, indicating a much higher (BH)max than the sample with no α-Fe. FORC analysis was performed to identify exchange coupling for the Mn-Al-C-0.05α-Fe nanocomposite sample. The results of this analysis showed the presence of two soft and hard ferromagnetic components. Further, it showed that the reverse magnetization process in the composite sample containing 5 wt. % α-Fe is the domain rotation model.

Root shotgun proteomics from Fe- and Mn-deficient and Mn-toxic tomato plants

Project description:The aim of this work was to study the effects of Fe and Mn deficiencies and Mn toxicity on the protein profile of the root of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), with the aim of elucidating plant response mechanisms to these nutritional stresses. Tomato was chosen as a model plant because the tomato genome has been published. The high-throughput shotgun analysis has permitted to identify and quantitate a large number of low abundance proteins in the tomato root. Protein identification was carried out using the Mascot search engine and the non-redundant databases NCBInr and ITAG v2.3.
