泰勒法制备的Ni-Mn-In-Co合金纤维的磁热效应

采用泰勒法制备了直径范围在30~100μm之间的玻璃包裹Ni-Mn-In-Co合金纤维。利用综合物性测量系统（PPMS）研究了磁场对制备态和退火态纤维马氏体相变温度的影响,并且从M-B曲线中分别计算得出了制备态和退火态纤维的磁热效应。研究结果表明：制备态纤维在室温下为7M马氏体结构。在制备态和退火态纤维中,奥氏体相变开始温度随外加磁场变化速率（ΔAs/ΔB）分别为-1.6和-4 K/T。退火态纤维在As点附近发生磁场诱发马氏体向奥氏体逆相变。退火态纤维最大磁熵变为3.0 J/（kg·K）,远大于制备态纤维的0.5 J/（kg·K）。Ni-Mn-In-Co合金纤维的大磁熵变和低成本使其成为最具潜力的磁制冷材料之一。

Magnetocaloric effect in Ni-Mn-In-Co microwires prepared by Taylor-Ulitovsky method

Ni-Mn-In-Co microwires with diameter of 30-100 μm are prepared by glass-coated metal filaments（Taylor–Ulitovsky） method. The effects of magnetic field on martensite transformation temperature in the as-prepared and annealed microwires are investigated using a physical property measurement system（PPMS）. Magnetocaloric effect（MCE） attributed to field-induced austenite transformation in the as-prepared and annealed microwires is analyzed indirectly from the isothermal magnetization（M-B） curves. The as-prepared microwire has a 7-layer modulated martensite structure（7M） at room temperature. The changes of austenite starting temperature induced by an external magnetic field（ΔAs/ΔB） in the as-prepared and annealed microwires are-1.6 and-4 K/T, respectively. Inverse martensite to austenite transformation exists in annealed microwires when an external magnetic field is applied at temperatures near As. The entropy change（ΔS） obtained in the annealed microwires is 3.0 J/（kg·K）, which is much larger than that in the as-prepared microwires 0.5 J/（kg·K）. The large entropy change and low price make Ni-Mn-In-Co microwires a potential working material in magnetic refrigeration.
