Magnetic materials for green energy applications — •Oliver Gutfleisch — TU Darmstadt, Material Science, Functional Materials — Fraunhofer Project Group Materials Recycling and Resource Strategy IWKS

Due to their ubiquity, magnetic materials play an important role in improving the efficiency and performance of devices in electric power generation, conversion and transportation 1. Permanent magnets are essential components in motors and generators of hybrid and electric cars, wind turbines, etc. Magnetocaloric materials could be the basis for a solid state energy efficient cooling technique alternative to compressor based refrigeration. Any improvements in magnetic materials will have a significant impact in these areas, on par with many *hot* energy materials efforts (e.g. hydrogen storage, batteries, thermoelectrics, etc.).

The talk focuses on rare earth and rare earth free permanent magnet and magnetocaloric materials with an emphasis on their optimization for energy and resource efficiency in terms of the usage of critical elements. The synthesis, characterization, and property evaluation of the materials will be examined briefly having in mind their critical micromagnetic length scales and phase transition characteristics.
