Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic measurements: A powerful tool in magnetic refrigerator design
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the properties of magnetometers with the framework of the Landau theory for the second order phase transition or the thermodynamics in magnetic fields, and compared the results with direct experimental results as well as those obtained using the molecular field model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Measurement of the “Giant” Adiabatic Temperature Change in Gd 5 Si 2 Ge 2
TL;DR: In this paper, direct adiabatic temperature change as well as magnetic measurements were carried out on two different samples of the same composition for which calculations predicted a ''giant'' magnetocaloric effect (MCE).
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermomagnetic properties of amorphous rare‐earth alloys with Fe, Ni, or Co
X. Y. Liu,J. A. Barclay,R. B. Gopal,M. Foldeaki,Richard Chahine,Tk Bose,P. J. Schurer,J. L. LaCombe +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic properties and specific heat of melt-spun amorphousRE70TM30 (Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho and Er; TM=Fe and Ni) and Gd65Co35 alloys were investigated as potential magnetic refrigerants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metamagnetic transition and magnetocaloric effect in ErCo2
TL;DR: In this article, a clear first-order phase transition is found at the magnetic ordering of the Er sublattice, where the boundary conditions used in the derivation of the approximative formulae for simple ferromagnetic materials are not appropriate for more complex transitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of magnetocaloric properties from magnetic and thermal measurements
M. Foldeaki,Walter Schnelle,E. Gmelin,P. Benard,Botond Koszegi,A. Giguere,Richard Chahine,T. K. Bose +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic and thermal measurements were carried out on Gd75Y25 (TC=232 K) and Gd48Y52 (TC =161 K) samples, for applied fields ranging between 0 and 7 T. From both datasets, the magnetic entropy change and MCE values were calculated and compared, in order to assess the mutual reliability of the methods applied.
