Problems solved by technology

Among them, magnetic refrigeration materials with a first-order magnetic phase transition (such as ErCo 2 ) shows a large magnetocaloric effect, but because the first-order phase transition is usually accompanied by obvious thermal hysteresis and magnetic hysteresis, the cooling rate of the magnetic refrigeration material decreases during the cycle.

Abstract

The invention provides a rare earth-iron-silicon material for magnetic refrigeration, and a preparation method and application thereof. The material is a compound of the following general formula: RFeSi, wherein R is any one element of Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho and Er, or is the combination of Er element and any one element of Gd, Tb, Dy and Ho. The magnetic refrigeration material has a CeFeSi-type square crystal structure. The rare earth-iron-silicon material provided by the invention, especially ErFeSi and (Gd0.8 Er0.2) FeSi presenting relatively large magnetic entropy change near their respective phase transition temperatures and wide working temperature areas, has large magnetic refrigeration capacity and good thermal and magnetic reversibility, and is a very ideal medium and low temperature zone magnetic refrigeration material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to magnetic materials, in particular to a rare earth-iron-silicon material used for magnetic refrigeration and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] Magnetic refrigeration refers to a new type of green and environmentally friendly refrigeration technology that uses magnetic materials as refrigerants. When the arrangement is ordered, the magnetic material will release heat during isothermal magnetization, and the magnetic entropy will decrease at the same time; and when the magnetic field is removed, the atomic magnetic moments will return to the previous random state, and the magnetic material will absorb heat while the magnetic entropy will increase. Compared with the traditional gas compression refrigeration technology, magnetic refrigeration uses magnetic materials as the refrigerant, which has significant advantages such as high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection, and stable ope...
