CNRE Research Seminar Series
CNRE Research Seminar Series
The seminar series will offer a great opportunity for participants to learn about ongoing research within SEAS and network with experts to foster professional growth of CNRE affiliates. CNRE invites you to broaden the knowledge base, discuss emerging topics and provide feedback on current research. Future topics include emerging research on Nanotechnology, Additive Manufacturing and Energy.
All research seminars are FREE and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided and all are welcome to join these interactive sessions!

Dr. Bishnu R. Dahal from South Dakota State University presents, Effect of Partial Substitution of In with Mn on the Structural, Magnetic, and Magnetocaloric Properties of Ni2Mn1+xIn1-x Heusler Alloys.
Dr. Bishnu R. Dahal from South Dakota State University will present research topics of Effect of Partial Substitution of In with Mn on the Structural, Magnetic, and Magnetocaloric Properties of Ni2Mn1+xIn1-x Heusler Alloys. This seminar will explore magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of a prospective magnetocaloric material Ni2Mn1+xIn1-x. The practical application of MCE in magnetic cooling is expected to replace the existing vapor-compression-based cooling technology with energy efficient and environment friendly solid-state cooling technology. The main challenge is to find a cost-effective magnetic material that can be used as a magnetic refrigerant. The seminar will present the investigation of the structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of the prospective magnetocaloric material Ni2Mn1+xIn1-x to overcome the challenge. Emphasis will be on the synthesis and characterization of Ni2Mn1+xIn1-x (x = 0, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.34, 0.35, and 0.40) alloys, and the prospect of these materials for magnetic cooling technology.
