Magnetic refrigeration with paramagnetic semiconductors at cryogenic temperatures
Abstract
We propose paramagnetic semiconductors as active media for refrigeration at cryogenic temperatures by adiabatic demagnetization. The paramagnetism of impurity dopants or structural defects can provide the entropy necessary for refrigeration at cryogenic temperatures. We present a simple model for the theoretical limitations to specific entropy and cooling power achievable by demagnetization of various semiconductor systems. Performance comparable to that of the hydrate (CMN) is predicted.
