Researchers at MIT created two new equations to describe magnon transport and have developed a theory of how quasi-particles in magnets spin to predict a new cooling effect.
The researchers discovered that magnons have a similar “coupled” phenomenon and behave like electrons when exposed to a magnetic field or temperature gradient. When exposed to magnetic field gradient, magnons may transfer heat from one end of the magnet to the other, creating a cooling effect. The researchers are looking into how to utilize this new theory for wireless cooling at very low temperatures.
