Role of the thermomagnetic coupling mechanism in phase-change materials for advanced applications
摘要
This paper investigates the thermomagnetic coupling mechanisms in phase-change materials (PCMs) to highlight their potential in advancing energy storage and spintronic applications. The primary objective is to bridge the gap between thermal energy storage and spintronic technologies by exploring how magnetic functionalities enhance PCM performance. The methodology involved a comprehensive analysis of other works, encompassing theoretical frameworks such as the Jiles-Atherton model and the spin Seebeck effect, supported by extensive literature reviews as well as mathematical equations and representative schematic diagrams and figures. Key findings reveal that strategic doping with magnetic nanoparticles can accelerate phase transition kinetics and improve non-volatile spin switching operations, showcasing significant enhancements in thermal management and efficiency. This work addresses critical knowledge gaps related to the mechanisms governing thermomagnetic coupling and interfacial stability in hybrid materials, emphasizing the importance of understanding these dynamics for future technological advancements. The significance of these findings underscores the transformative potential of integrating magnetic and thermal properties in PCMs, paving the way for innovative solutions in sustainable energy and advanced computing technologies.
