Magnetoelectric Tuning of Pinning-Type Permanent Magnets through Atomic-Scale Engineering of Grain Boundaries

Pinning-type magnets with high coercivity at high temperatures, especially Sm2Co17-type magnets, are at the core of thriving clean-energy technologies. Despite intensive efforts to optimize the intragranular microstructure, the coercivity currently only reaches 20–30% of the theoretical limits.

TU spin-off MagnoTherm Solutions wants to revolutionise the refrigeration industry

The product ideas have huge market potential, the technology behind them is disruptive: For its climate-friendly and sustainable cooling systems, MagnoTherm Solutions replaces harmful gases with a solid material whose cooling effect is controlled by magnetic fields. The commercial application of this long-researched material is a novelty in the refrigeration industry. The start-up wants to enter the fiercely competitive industry as quickly as possible with “plug-in refrigerated displays” for the retail trade.
