Magnetic refrigeration is a good alternative to gas compression technology due to higher efficiency and environmental concerns. Magnetocaloric materials must exhibit large adiabatic temperature variations and a large entropic effect. MnAs shows the colossal magnetocaloric effect under high pressures or with Fe doping. In this work the authors introduce a class of materials—Mn1-xCuxAs—revealing a peak colossal effect of -175 J/(K kg) for a 5 T field variation at 318 K and ambient pressure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
