Magnetocaloric materials have gained significant interest as an environment friendly
and efficient solid state refrigeration technology. 我们一直在研究赫斯勒
合金,主要是非化学计量的Ni2MnGa system that rely on magnetic field induced first order structural transformation
(‘magnetostructural transformation’) for improved magnetocaloric effect (MCE). 的
work was originally funded by the Army 研究 Laboratories. 的magnetostructural
transformation temperature is sensitively dependent on composition, so that alloying
chemistry have to be optimized for martensitic transformation close to RT. 此外,
we have observed significant MCE increase (up to 80%) following stress assisted thermally
cycling of samples, and have demonstrated that one primary mechanism responsible for
the increased MCE is the development of preferred crystallographic orientation in
马氏体相. 的 rationale for this approach derived from our previous work
对形状记忆NiTi样品,其中 原位 neutron diffraction work LANL showed favorable texture when a sample was cooled from
the austenite to the martensite under low applied stress – an effect due to very low
相变温度下的剪切模量. 这项工作最初是通过
ARO和后来的NSF.
In more recent work we have been studying the influence of elemental doping,
in order to bring the magnetostructural transformation from about 60 C to RT while
同时增强MCE.
