  • Multicaloric MnNiSi alloys
    Patent number: 11142812
    Abstract: A multicaloric alloy material combines two isostructural compounds, the first compound being MnNiSi and the second compound being either MnFeGe or CoFeGe, each such compound having extremely different magnetic and thermo-structural properties. The resulting alloy material (MnNiSi)1-x(MnFeGe)x or (MnNiSi)1-x(CoFeGe)x possesses extraordinary magnetocaloric and/or barocaloric properties with an acute sensitivity to applied pressure and no appreciable magnetic hysteresis losses.
    Type: Grant

  • MAGNETIC REFRIGERANT MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20080276623
    Abstract: Specific embodiments of magnetocaloric materials useful in magnetic refrigeration systems, for example, are disclosed. The magnetocaloric materials include nickel-manganese-gallium (NiMnGa) alloys in which substitution is made from some of the manganese. Copper is preferably substituted for at least some of the manganese, but cobalt or a combination of cobalt and copper could also be substituted for at least some of the manganese. In the preferred embodiment, the material comprises a nickel-manganese-copper-gallium of the composition Ni2Mn1-xCuxGa, where x is greater than or equal to about 0.22.
