Abstrakt: The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) in Japan has built a project called World Energy Network (WE-NET). The aim of WE-NET is development of a new infrastructure of hydrogen technology for the upcoming hydrogen energy society. Among several element technologies to be achieved, high efficient liquefaction and storage of hydrogen have been identified as key technologies. Active Magnetic Regenerative Refrigeration (AMRR) is thought to have the best performance in cooling efficiency for hydrogen liquefaction. AMRR makes use of magnetic materials so that a magnetic field can create the cooling power. Therefore, magnetic and thermal properties of the materials are of crucial importance to the design and development of the AMRR system. In this paper, we focused specially on thermal expansion among the thermal properties of magnetic materials for AMRR to provide a fundamental database for the design of the AMRR. Correlation between magnetic property and thermal expansion of the Gd5(SixGe1-x)4 system is also examined. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
