説明:

The giant magnetocaloric effect in (Mn, Fe)2(P, Si) based alloys arises from a magnetoelastic ferromagnetic-paramagnetic (FM-PM) phase transition accompanied by a large thermal hysteresis. The thermal hysteresis leads to an undesirable irreversibility of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) during cyclic operation, impeding the practical application in solid-state magnetic refrigeration. Here, we present pre-existing PM nuclei play a role in reducing hysteresis. A combinatorial analysis, using in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) microscopy, reveals that the residual PM phases at the ferromagnetic state of the compound acts as the nuclei for the growth of the PM phases. This is kinetically favorable for the FM-PM phase transition and contributes to a smaller hysteresis from an extrinsic perspective. In addition, the smaller changes in the lattice constants during the phase transition indicates a weakened first-order phase transition. Through a combined effect of intrinsic and extrinsic contributions, a giant MCE in the magnetic entropy change of 16 J kg–1 K−1 under 2 T and a low thermal hysteresis of 3.0 K were achieved in a basic Mn–Fe–Si–P quaternary system for room temperature applications. Furthermore, based on Landau theory and experimentally obtained data, we established an H-T phase diagram and unveiled the crucial role of the magnetoelastic coupling in manipulating thermal hysteresis. Overall, the findings in this work offer a strategy to mitigate hysteresis while retaining a large MCE through extrinsic control.
