Magnetocaloric effect in Sr2FeMoO6/Ag composites

The enhanced low-field magnetocaloric effect was investigated for double
perovskite Sr2FeMoO6 - silver (SFMO/Ag) composites with 0, 5 and 10 wt.% of
Ag. A phenomenological model was used to predict magnetocaloric properties of
SFMO/Ag composites, such as magnetic entropy change, heat capacity change and
relative cooling power. It was shown that magnetic entropy change (ΔS M)
peaks of SFMO/Ag span over a wide temperature region, which can significantly
improve the global efficiency of the magnetic refrigeration. Furthermore, the
ΔS M distribution of the SFMO/Ag composites is much more uniform than that of
gadolinium. Through these results, SFMO/Ag composite has some potential
application for magnetic refrigerants in an extended high-temperature range.
