Magnetocaloric Effect in Ni-Mn-Ga and Ni-Co-Mn-In Heusler Alloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
The positive magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in the vicinity of the Curie point in Ni2+xMn1-xGa (x=0.33, 0.36, 0.39) Heusler alloys and the negative and positive MCE near the metamagnetostructural (MMS) transition and the Curie point, respectively, in Ni45Co5Mn36.5In13.5 Heusler alloy has been measured by a direct method. For the magnetic field change ΔH = 2 T, the maximal adiabatic temperature change ΔTad at the Curie point in Ni2+xMn1-xGa alloys is larger than 0.6 K. For Ni45Co5Mn36.5In13.5 alloy, the maximal value of ΔTad = 1.68 K (for the same magnetic field change, ΔH = 2 T) is observed at the MMS phase transition temperature.
