Lattice Vibrations Boost Demagnetization Entropy in Shape Memory Alloy
Abstract
Magnetocaloric (MC) materials present an avenue for chemical-free, solid state refrigeration through cooling via adiabatic demagnetization. We have used inelastic neutron scattering to measure the lattice dynamics in the MC material Ni<sub>45</sub>Co<sub>5</sub>Mn<sub>36.6</sub>In<sub>13.4</sub>. Upon heating across TC, the material exhibits an anomalous increase in phonon entropy of 0.17 0.04 k_B/atom, which is nine times larger than expected from conventional thermal expansion. We find that the phonon softening is focused in a transverse optic phonon, and we present the results of first-principle calculations which predict a strong coupling between lattice distortions and magnetic excitations.
