Correlations between magnetic transition temperatures and the average weighted valence band electron concentration ((s + d) electrons/atom) have led to development of a phenomenological model that predicts influence elemental substitution on magnetostructural response bulk B2-ordered Fe(Rh1−xMx) or (Fe1−xMx)Rh alloys (M = elements; x < 6 at. %). Validation this is provided through synthesis characterization FeRh with Cu Au additions. The data associated trends indicate lattice...
We report on the multicaloric response of ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{49}{\mathrm{Rh}}_{51}$ alloy under combined application hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field. Experimental data are complemented by a mean field model that takes into account interplay between structural degrees freedom. A large strength has been found for this alloy, it is shown suitable combination enables sign entropy change to be reversed thus effect can tuned from conventional inverse. It also an extended temperature window...
Linear magnetoresistance (LMR) occurs in semiconductors as a consequence of strong electrical disorder and is characterized by nonsaturating that proportional to the applied magnetic field. By investigating disordered MnAs-GaAs composite material, it found magnitude LMR numerically equal carrier mobility over wide range independent density. This behavior complementary Hall effect dependent on Moreover, appears be insensitive details points universal explanation classical can other material systems.
Abstract A significant barrier to the commercialization of magnetic heat pumping is lack scalable, low-cost manufacturing techniques that enable shaping brittle magnetocaloric materials into exchange structures with porous geometries, controlled chemical gradients, and advantageous anisotropic microstructures. Though direct ink writing additive has potential expand a viable net-shaping technology for functional alloys, it typically challenging fabricate dense parts—an observation ascribed...
Additive manufacturing (AM) is revolutionizing magnetic heat pumping technology by enabling the design and production of highly optimized, customizable components that enhance efficiency, reduce costs, accelerate innovation in thermal management systems.

Key techniques, including material extrusion, binder...
In this work, we demonstrate that the magnetocaloric response of FeRh-based compounds may be tailored for potential magnetic refrigeration applications by chemical modification FeRh lattice. Alloys composition Fe(Rh1−xAx) or (Fe1−xBx)Rh (A = Cu, Pd; B Ni; 0 < x 0.06) were synthesized via arc-melting and subsequent annealing in vacuum at 1000 °C 48 h. The properties systems determined using isothermal M(H) curves measured vicinity magnetostructural temperature (Tt). It is found working...
$\mathrm{AlF}{\mathrm{e}}_{2}{\mathrm{B}}_{2}$ is a ferromagnet with the Curie temperature around 300 K and has potential to be an outstanding rare-earth free candidate for magnetocaloric applications. However, samples prepared from melt contain additional phases which affect functional response of phase. We report on effects Al content in initial (nominal) composition $\mathrm{A}{\mathrm{l}}_{x}\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}}_{2}{\mathrm{B}}_{2}$, where $x=1.0$, 1.1, 1.2 by arc-melting followed...
The chemically ordered B2 phase of equiatomic FeRh is known to absorb or evolve a significant latent heat as it traverses its first-order transition in response thermal, magnetic, and mechanical drivers.
