| Abstract Scope |
The eco-friendly magnetic refrigerator as replacing conventional vapor compression refrigerator is based on magnetocaloric effect. The measurement methods of magnetocaloric effect are adiabatic temperature change or isothermal magnetic entropy change. In initial study, typical magnetocaloric alloys have been using crystalline materials. The alloys with the amorphous structure have many advantages such as high refrigeration capacity, broadened magnetic entropy change, better corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties for enhance endurance. Co-based magnetocaloric alloys have been considered as a novel room temperature magnetocaloric material system. In this study, we investigated the differences of the magnetic properties and magnetocaloric behaviors of Co-based amorphous alloys and crystalline alloys, respectively. The magnetocaloric properties of Co-based alloys were measured by a Quantum Design Physical Properties Measurement System (VSM, VersaLab). The structure of alloys was characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD, Bruker, D8 discover) using Cu Kα radiation. |
