Research Abstract |
Nitrides of Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er and their binary nitrides were synthesized by the HIP method. Their magnetization and specific heat were measured to evaluate the magnetic entropy change and adiabatic demagnetization cooling. Electronic conductivities of some of their samples were measured as well. It was ascertained that this class of material is suitable for refrigerant of magnetic cooling system for hydrogen liquefaction. Spherical material of GdN with diameter of 0.85-1.0mm was synthesized and its weight gain caused by exposure to dry air for 24h was found less than 1%. This spherical material was charged into a magnetic refrigeration test device and a magnetic cooling of 5 degrees was measured in a region of 55-65K.
