PV VIII: Plenarvortrag

Dienstag, 17. März 2015, 08:30–09:15, H 0105

Magnetic Materials for Green Technologies — •Oliver Gutfleisch — TU Darmstadt, Material Science, 64287 Darmstadt — Fraunhofer Project Group for Materials Recycling and Resource Strategy IWKS Hanau

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 new solid state energy efficient cooling technique alternative to compressor based refrigeration (2). Any improvements in magnetic materials will have a significant impact in these areas, on par with many other energy materials (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 concept of criticality of strategic metals will be explained by looking at demand, sustainability and the reality of alternatives of rare earths. Synthesis, characterization, and property evaluation of the materials will be examined considering their micromagnetic length scales and phase transition characteristics.
