Solid refrigerator is a kind of new refrigerator, and for the refrigerator of routine, solid refrigerator is without pressure
The complex devices such as contracting machine, circulating refrigerant, with noiseless in the course of the work, without friction, energy consumption is low, high cooling efficiency, knot
The advantages that structure is simple, small volume, it is suitable for many special occasions and uses.
In solid refrigerator, one of which solid refrigerator is the magnetic refrigerator using magnetothermal effect (MCE).Material by
Atomic building, atom are made up of electronics and atomic nucleus, and electronics has spin magnetic moment to also have orbital magnetic moment, and this causes the original of some materials
Son or ion carry magnetic moment.The ion or atomic magnetic moment of magnetic material are rambling, solid magnetic thing when without external magnetic field
For matter (system of magnetic ion or atomic building) when being magnetized by magnetic fields, the magnetic order degree of system strengthens (magnetic entropy reduction),
Externally release heat;Again by its degaussing, then magnetic order degree decline (magnetic entropy increase), heat is absorbed from the external world again.This magnetic
Ion system applies in magnetic field is referred to as magnetothermal effect with the thermal phenomenon appeared in removing process.If two such thermal insulation is gone
Exothermic process caused by endothermic process caused by magnetic and adiabatic magnetization is connected with a circulation, passes through certain technology hand
Section, can reach the purpose of refrigeration.
P.Langevin is noticed within 1907:During paramagnet adiabatic demagnetization, its temperature can reduce.Nineteen twenty-seven Debye
