Through strain-mediated magnetoelectric coupling, it is demonstrated that the magnetocaloric effect of a ferromagnetic shape-memory alloy can be controlled by an electric field. Large hysteresis and the limited operating temperature region are effectively overcome by applying an electric field on a laminate comprising a piezoelectric and the alloy. Accordingly, a model for an active magnetic refrigerator with high efficiency is proposed in principle.
通过应变介导的磁电耦合,证明了铁磁形状记忆合金的磁热效应可以通过电场来控制。通过在包含压电体和合金的层压板上施加电场,有效地克服了大滞后和有限的工作温度区域。因此,原则上提出了一种具有高效率的主动磁制冷器模型。
