Abstract
In this work, the dependence of magnetization temperature for α'-MnB nanoparticles has been simulated to predict magnetocaloric effect (MCE) parameters of α'-MnB nanoparticles. The results reveal that MCE of α'-MnB nanoparticles covers a large range of temperature between 300 and 550 K. We suppose that α'-MnB nanoparticles can be used as a single function magnetic material for magnetic refrigerator (MR) which can be used in the automotive, food, or aerospace industries.
