Abstract

Magnetic entropy change and refrigerant capacity have been determined for a field change of 20 kOe around the second-order magnetic transition of austenite in as-quenched Ni51.1Mn31.2In17.7 alloy ribbons produced by melt spinning technique. Samples crystallize in a single-phase austenite with the highly ordered L21-type crystal structure and a Curie temperature of 275 K. The material shows a maximum magnetic entropy change of ΔSMmax= - 1.7 Jkg-1K-1, an useful working temperature range of 78 K (δTFWHM) and a refrigerant capacity of RC=132 Jkg-1 (RC= │ΔSMmax│ x δTFWHM). The considerable RC value obtained together with the fabrication via a single-step process make austenitic Ni-Mn-In ribbons of potential interest as magnetic refrigerants for room temperature magnetic refrigeration.
