摘要
We report a giant effective magnetic refrigeration capacity in a Ni40Co10Mn40Sn10 multifunctional alloy. With a large magnetization difference between austenite and martensite, this alloy shows a strong magnetic field dependence of transformation temperatures. Complete magnetic-field-induced structural transformation and a considerable magnetic entropy change are observed in a broad operating temperature window of 33 K near room temperature. Consequently, an effective magnetic refrigeration capacity of 251 J/kg for 5 T is achieved, which is the largest value for Ni-Mn-based Heusler alloys and comparable to that of the high-performance Gd-Si-Ge and La-Fe-Si magnetocaloric materials. Incorporating the advantages of low cost and non-toxicity, this alloy shows very promising prospects for room-temperature magnetic refrigeration. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
