Description

Magnetic refrigeration material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of magnetic materials, and relates to a magnetic refrigeration material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the increasing awareness of sustainable development along with economic development, the traditional gas compression technology is gradually eliminated. The magnetic refrigeration technology appearing in recent years receives wide attention due to the advantages of energy conservation, high efficiency, environmental protection, stability and reliability. Magnetic refrigeration is a type of refrigeration based on the Magnetocaloric Effect (Magnetocaloric Effect) of magnetic materials. The basic principle of magnetic refrigeration is to utilize the magnetocaloric effect of magnetic refrigeration material, i.e. the magnetic refrigeration material emits heat to the outside when magnetized and absorbs heat from the outside when demagnetized, so as to achieve the purpose of refrigeration. When the magnetic field is applied and demagnetized, the change of the entropy value is accompanied, so that the system has heat exchange with the surrounding environment.
Heusler alloy is one of the magnetic refrigeration materials. Such alloys have a ferromagnetic martensitic transformation behaviour. The ferromagnetic martensitic transformation in Heusler alloys is p2Found in MnGa. The method is characterized in that the first-order structure phase change is coupled with the second-order magnetic structure phase change. Since then, a ferromagnetic martensite phase change material system based on the Heusler alloy is continuously developed, and becomes a research hot tide. In the ferromagnetic martensite phase transformation process, the magnetism and the structure mutually influence to bring a plurality of physical effects, including the shape memory effect induced by a magnetic field, the strain output induced by the magnetic field, the magnetoresistance, the exchange bias, the magnetic entropy change and the like. In general, in the Heusler alloy, p-D hybridization of main group element atoms occupying D position, transition group element atoms occupying A/C position and D positioned at the most adjacent A/C position atom forms a covalent bondDetermines the structure and phase stability of the alloy. Wenchangyang et al propose an all-d-metal Heusler alloy consisting entirely of transition group metal elements based on the structural characteristics of Heusler alloys. And proposes a prediction: the transition group elements with multiple electrons and the transition group elements with few electrons can form d-d full shell hybridization to obtain the Ni-Mn-Ti all-d-metal Heusler alloy with atoms occupying high order and stable cubic structure, and the prediction is verified by experiments. Furthermore, the parent phase of the Ni-Mn-Ti all-d-metal Heusler alloy is antiferromagnetically coupled, and ferromagnetic coupling of the parent phase can be established by introducing magnetic elements such as Co (Fe) and the like into the Ni bit, and meanwhile, the low saturation magnetic moment of the martensite phase is kept, so that ferromagnetic martensite phase transformation is successfully realized, and the alloy becomes a new type of ferromagnetic shape memory alloy. In the alloy, the phase change behavior and the magnetocaloric effect of the alloy can be regulated and controlled through the substitution of elements with different atomic radii, so that the magnetic refrigeration can be realized in a wider temperature range. Rare earth elements are very good doping elements. Among rare earth elements, Pr, Nd, Dy, Tb and the like are consumed greatly as main required elements of rare earth permanent magnet materials, so that La, Ce and Y elements with high abundance and low price are accumulated in a large quantity, and the utilization of the rare earth elements is seriously unbalanced. The high-efficiency development and utilization of high-abundance rare earth or mixed rare earth become research hotspots, and have important significance for the balanced utilization of rare earth resources. The Ni-Co-Mn-Ti-based alloy is doped with abundant rare earth elements R (La, Ce and Y), so that the phase change and magnetocaloric effects can be regulated and controlled to adapt to different environments, and the current unbalanced situation of rare earth utilization can be relieved. The rare earth element is doped in the alloy, so that the valence electron concentration can be adjusted, the phase transition temperature can be regulated and controlled, and the magnetocaloric effect can be improved. At present, rare earth is expensive and the crust content is low, so that the rare earth is regulated and controlled by introducing abundant rare earth elements R (La, Ce and Y).
According to the invention, the Ni-Co-Mn-Ti-based material is doped with abundant rare earth elements R (La, Ce and Y) to regulate and control the phase change temperature, enhance the magnetocaloric effect of the material and simultaneously improve the utilization rate of the abundant rare earth elements.

Finally, the ingot obtained by melting was cut into about 3g of blocks, the surface was polished to remove oxide skin, and wrapped with Ti sheets. Putting the quartz tube into the vacuum chamber, vacuumizing and sealing the quartz tube by using a small quartz column to ensure that the quartz tube is vacuum. And (3) putting the quartz tube into a muffle furnace for annealing at 700 ℃, and cooling the furnace after heat preservation for 4 days.
And (3) data analysis:
mn obtained in example 150-a3Ya3Ni30.5Co9.5Ti10The (a3 ═ 0.3,0.5,0.7) thin strip was subjected to a crystal structure test using a Cu target X-ray diffractometer (XRD) at room temperature, and the test pattern thereof is shown in fig. 1, and it was found that the sample was a B2 phase structure and was a single phase. The martensite structure transformation temperature of Y replacing Mn is below room temperature.
FIG. 2 shows Mn obtained in example 150-a3Ya3Ni30.5Co9.5Ti10The thermomagnetic (M-T) curve of the (a3 ═ 0.3,0.5,0.7) thin strip under a 0.1kOe magnetic field measured on a superconducting quantum magnetometer. The phase transition temperature and the Curie temperature of the parent phase of the magnetic structure can be determined from the M-T curve. As can be seen from the figure, temperature hysteresis (about 40K) exists near the phase transition, and the first-order phase transition characteristic is exhibited. All samples underwent a martensitic transformation from ferromagnetic austenite to paramagnetic martensite. The Y replaces Mn, so that the magnetic/structural phase-change coupling is kept, and meanwhile, a large magnetization difference can be obtained, and a large magnetic refrigeration effect is obtained. As the Y substitution increases, the magnetic/structural phase change coupling temperature shifts to a low temperature.
Mn obtained in example 1 was treated with MPMS49.7Y0.3Ni30.5Co9.5Ti10And measuring an isothermal magnetization curve of the thin strip, and calculating a magnetic entropy change curve graph according to a Maxwell formula. FIG. 3 is a graph of magnetic entropy change calculated from isothermal magnetization curves. It can be seen that the magnetic entropy change value is 3.3Jkg under the change of 10kOe magnetic field in the phase transition temperature region-1K-1Under the change of a 70kOe magnetic field, the magnetic entropy change value is 12.6Jkg-1K-1
According to the invention, the Ni-Co-Mn-Ti-based all-d-metal Heusler alloy is doped with abundant rare earth elements R (La, Ce and Y), so that the magnetization intensity of the alloy can be enhanced, the difference between the magnetization intensity of a parent phase and that of a martensite phase is increased, the generation of magnetic field induced phase transition is promoted, and the magnetocaloric effect is enhanced. The magnetic structure coupling is kept all the time in the doping process, and the phase transition temperature is regulated and controlled near room temperature along with the increase of the content of the high-abundance rare earth elements R (La, Ce and Y). The material of the invention can be applied to magnetic refrigeration in complex environments covering the room temperature range. The invention has better application prospect in the environment of diversified device and equipment response.
Although the present invention has been described by way of preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein, and various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
