Abstract The most widespread cooling techniques based on gas compression/expansion encounter environmental problems. Thus, tremendous effort has been dedicated to develop alternative cooling technique and search for solid state materials that show large caloric effects. An application of pressure to a material can cause a change in temperature, which is called the barocaloric effect. Here we report the giant barocaloric effect in a hexagonal Ni2In-type MnCoGe0.99In0.01 compound involving magnetostructural transformation, T mstr, which is accompanied with a big difference in the internal energy due to a great negative lattice expansion(ΔV/V ~ 3.9%). High resolution neutron diffraction experiments reveal that the hydrostatic pressure can push the T mstr to a lower temperature at a rate of 7.7 K/kbar, resulting in a giant barocaloric effect. The entropy change under a moderate pressure of 3 kbar reaches 52 Jkg−1K−1, which exceeds that of most materials, including the reported giant magnetocaloric effect driven by 5 T magnetic field that is available only by superconducting magnets.

Using a hollow-cathode lamp (HCL) to build a Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter (FADOF) is a new method to realize narrow linewidth optical filters. In contrast to other atomic optical filters based on saturated vapors, which work at a relatively high temperature to maintain the atomic density, the HCL device using sputtered particles can work at a much lower temperature. In this work, a rubidium HCL-based FADOF (HCL-FADOF) working at 780 nm is established and carefully tested. With 20 mm cathode length, the transmittance can reach 29% under 18 mA discharge current and 260 G magnetic field at room temperature, which is equivalent to the performance of a saturated vapor-based FADOF (VC-FADOF) at more than 60 ∘C. This work provides a direct comparison of the performance of the HCL-FADOF and the VC-FADOF, which is of great benefit to further studies of atomic filters at normal temperature.

Based on the experimental data of entropy change varying with temperature, the regenerative Brayton refrigeration cycle using Gd0.94Er0.06 as the working substance is set up for magnetic field changes with 0-1T and 0-2T. By using thermodynamic analysis method, some parameters such as the non-perfect regeneration, net cooling quantity, coefficient of performance (COP), and so on, are analyzed and calculated. The effects of temperature of the heat reservoir, regeneration and external magnetic field are also discussed. The results obtained in the present paper show that the refrigeration cycle operating in TC=T0, TH= T0+7K and 0-2T magnetic field change has not only maximum cooling quantity but also maximum COP in all the established magnetic refrigeration cycles, and can provide some new guide for the optimal design of real room-temperature magnetic refrigerators.

The MCE in MnAs and doped Mn (As,Sb) compounds with low concentration of Sb has been studied by direct investigation. It was shown that for MnAs the maximum value of MCE is ΔT = 0.28 K on heating (at 308 K) and ΔT = 0.88 K on cooling (at T = 306 K) in magnetic filed 12.5 kOe. In doped Mn (As,Sb) compounds the temperature dependence of MCE is similar to MnAs. All investigated compounds demonstrate a strong temperature and field hysteresis of magnetic properties in magnetic field less than 40 kOe. It was established that a small concentration of Sb leads to decrease of MCE hysteresis and preserves the phase transition at room temperature region.

AbstractMagnetic 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.

Gd5Si2Ge2-based alloys can exhibit a giant magnetocaloric effect (GMCE) which gives them the potential use in the cooling technologies[1].Through this studies, it can be found that the purity of Gd had a great impact on the magnetocaloric effect in Gd5Si2-xGe2-xZn2x alloys. When 3N Gd used and 2x=0.01, Gd5Si2-xGe2-xZn2x around the curie point of 280k get the maximum magnetic entropy change of 14.0 J/(Kg.K) under the external magnetic field change from 0 to 1T, but when 2N Gd used and 2x=0.05, Gd5Si2-xGe2-xZn2x around the curie point of 284.2k under the external magnetic field change 1T get the maximum magnetic entropy change 6.65 J/(Kg.K).

AbstractThrough the use of the Monte Carlo simulations utilising the mean-field approach, we show that a dense assembly of separated ultra-small magnetic nanoparticles embedded into a non-magnetic deformable matrix can be characterized by a large isothermal magnetic entropy change even upon applying a weak magnetic field with values much smaller than one Tesla. We also show that such entropy change may be very significant in the vicinity of the room temperature which effect normally requires an application of a strong external magnetic field. The deformable matrix chosen in this work as a host for magnetic nanoparticles adopts a thin film form with a large surface area to volume ratio. This in turn in combination with a strong magneto-volume coupling exhibited by this material allows us to show its suitability to be used in the case of a variety of applications utilising local cooling/heating such as future magnetic refrigerants.

The room-temperature magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of Cox(MnSb)1-x (x=0.07, 0.15, 0.24) alloys has been investigated. It is revealed that the Curie temperature TC and the magnetic entropy change ΔSM are sensitive to the Co content x. When x=0.15, the MCE of Co0.15(MnSb)0.85 alloy is optimal with ΔSM=1.8 J/kg.K at 324 K under an applied magnetic field of 3 T. A second-order phase transformation occurs around TC, and the magnetic hysteresis loss thermal lag is negligible. These features demonstrate that Co0.15(MnSb)0.85 alloy is a promising room-temperature magnetocaloric materials.

We report a convenient and practical method for the preparation of nonexplosive cyclic hypervalent iodine(III) oxidants as efficient organocatalysts and reagents for various reactions using Oxone® in aqueous solution under mild conditions at room temperature. The thus obtained 2-iodosobenzoic acids (IBAs) could be used as precursors of other cyclic organoiodine(III) derivatives by the solvolytic derivatization of the hydroxy group under mild conditions of 80 °C or lower temperature. These sequential procedures are highly reliable to selectively afford cyclic hypervalent iodine compounds in excellent yields without contamination by hazardous pentavalent iodine(III) compound.

AbstractThe organic magnetoelectric complexes are beneficial for the development on flexible magnetoelectric devices in the future. In this work, we fabricated all organic multiferroic ferromagnetic/ferroelectric complexes to study magnetoelectric coupling at room temperature. Under the stimulus of external magnetic field, the localization of charge inside organic ferromagnets will be enhanced to affect spin–dipole interaction at organic multiferroic interfaces, where overall ferroelectric polarization is tuned to present an organic magnetoelectric coupling. Moreover, the magnetoelectric coupling of the organic ferromagnetic/ferroelectric complex is tightly dependent on incident light intensity. Decreasing light intensity, the dominated interfacial interaction will switch from spin–dipole to dipole–dipole interaction, which leads to the magnetoelectric coefficient changing from positive to negative in organic multiferroic magnetoelectric complexes.
