Abstract:
Adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration (ADR) technology has the advantage of not relying on helium-3 resources and gravity compared to traditional ultra-low temperature refrigeration technology. The key to the development of ADR technology is finding magnetic refrigeration materials with brilliant magnetocaloric properties. In this study, polycrystalline EuB 2 O 4 was successfully prepared by solid-phase reaction method. The analysis of magnetic susceptibility curves and first-principles calculations reveals a magnetic phase transition from antiferromagnetic (AFM) to paramagnetic (PM) of EuB 2 O 4 , with T N = 0.72 K. The magnetic entropy change (- Delta S M ) is evaluated up to 5 T, with the maximum value of 19.4 J & sdot; kg - 1 K -1 (88.7 mJ & sdot; cm - 3 K -1 ), 35.0 J & sdot; kg - 1 K -1 (160.0 mJ & sdot; cm - 3 K -1 ) and 50.8 J & sdot; kg - 1 K - 1 (232.2 mJ & sdot; cm - 3 K -1 ) at around T = 1.3 K and under mu 0 Delta H = 1 T, 2 T and 5 T, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the commercial magnetic refrigerant Gd 3 Ga 5 O 12 . The large - Delta S M suggest that EuB 2 O 4 is a potentially great magnetic refrigerant for obtaining ultralow temperature.
