Magnetocaloric (MC) materials are promising candidates for energy efficient cooling applications. Here, FeRh nanoparticles prepared via laser ablation in liquids (LAL) are studied as possible means towards printable MC media. First experiments focused on how to minimize surface oxidation during nanoparticle preparation in solution. After ensuring low oxidation levels, our main interest was to find a method to regain the FeRh B2 structure and its MC properties during further processing. For that purpose, extensive studies via magnetometry, XRD and Mössbauer spectroscopy were performed to analyze magnetic structure and phase composition when exposing the particles to elevated temperatures, as would occur during laser printing of MC structures. We observed a transition from the predominant γ-FeRh-phase formed during laser particle synthesis to the B2-phase we aimed for, constituting a maximum B2-fraction of ca. 90 % of the material. Ongoing studies are currently searching for optimum processing parameters for laser-sintering of the FeRh-NP-based inks in an approach to form 2D magnetocaloric structures, with first results indicating the presence of the field-induced B2-phase antiferro- to ferromagnetic transition.
