Magnetocaloric effect

Magnetic refrigeration

Molecular coolantswith examples


only if wehave time

Magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is

heating produced in magnetic materials following an increaseof the applied magnetic field,

and cooling when the applied magnetic field is removed.

Or just the opposite in the “inverse MCE”.

Emil Gabriel Warburg (1846-1931)

discovered the Magneto-Caloric Effect (MCE) in an iron sample,

which heated a few millikelvin when moved into a magnetic field and cooled back when removed out of it.

Controlled non-adiabaticity, down to << 1 KKnown: thermal conductance (κ ) of wires

T0 = bath temperature

and

“Suitability” of refrigerants depends on target temperatures

Very-low temperatures (10 mK < T < 1 K): paramagnetic salts (e.g., cerium magnesium nitrate, CMN); molecular nanomagnets (so-so).

Low temperatures (1 K < T < 10 K): magnetic nanoparticles; lanthanide alloys; molecule-based magnetic materials (good).

Intermediate temperatures:intermetallic and lanthanide alloys (second-order phase transitions), magnetic nanoparticles; molecule-based magnetic materials (bad).

Near-room temperature:Gd and lanthanide-alloys(first-order phase transitions).
