Giant Magnetic-Field-Induced Strain in Ni2MnGa-based polycrystal
Alberto A. Mendonca, Jesus F. Jurado, Sam J. Stuard +5
Ferromagnetic Ni2MnGa-based alloys play an important role in technological fields, such as smart actuators, magnetic refrigeration and robotics. The possibility of obtaining large…
Supergiant Barocaloric Effects in Acetoxy Silicone Rubber over a Wide Temperature Range: Great Potential for Solid-state Cooling
W. Imamura, E. O. Usuda, L. S. Paixão +3
Solid-state cooling based on caloric effects is considered a viable alternative to replace the conventional vapor-compression refrigeration systems. Regarding barocaloric materials…
Deciphering M-T diagram of shape memory Heusler alloys: reentrance, plateau and beyond
S. Sergeenkov, C. Cordova, P. Ari-Gur +8
We present our recent results on temperature behaviour of magnetization observed in Ni_47Mn_39In_14 Heusler alloys. Three regions can be distinguished in the M-T diagram: (I) low t…
Magnetocaloric effect in manganites: metamagnetic transitions for magnetic refrigeration
M. Quintero, J. Sacanell, L. Ghivelder +3
We present a study of the magnetocaloric effect in La5/8-yPryCa3/8MnO3 (y=0.3) and Pr0.5Ca0.09Sr0.41MnO3 manganites. The low temperature state of both ystems is the result of a com…
Low temperature specific heat of the molecular cluster Fe: contribution of the local field
A. M. Gomes, M. A. Novak, W. C. Nunes +1
We present low temperature specific heat and ac-susceptibility measurements on Fe powdered sample. Below 1.3 K, superparamagnetic blocking effects as well as an excess specif…
