Magnetically driven thermal changes in magnetocaloric materials have, for several decades,
been exploited to pump heat near room temperature. By contrast, their electrocaloric and …

The magnetocaloric effect and its most straightforward application, magnetic refrigeration,
are topics of current interest due to the potential improvement of energy efficiency of cooling …

The search for materials with large caloric effects has become a major challenge in material
science due to their potential in developing near room‐temperature solid‐state cooling …

Hysteresis is more than just an interesting oddity that occurs in materials with a first-order
transition. It is a real obstacle on the path from existing laboratory-scale prototypes of …

Over the last two decades, the research activities on magnetocalorics have been
exponentially increased, leading to the discovery of a wide category of materials including …

The transition toward a carbon-neutral society based on renewable energies goes hand in
hand with the availability of energy-efficient technologies. Magnetocaloric cooling is a very …

In this paper, we illustrate the dilemma of inverse magnetocaloric materials using the
example of Heusler alloys. For such materials, the magnetic and lattice contribution to the …

Magnetic refrigeration relies on a substantial entropy change in a magnetocaloric material
when a magnetic field is applied. Such entropy changes are present at first‐order …

Over the past several decades, research on anomalous thermal expansion materials has
been rapidly growing, and increasing numbers of compounds exhibiting negative thermal …

Solid‐state caloric effects as intrinsic thermal responses to different physical external stimuli
(magnetic‐, uniaxial stress‐, pressure‐, and electric‐fields) can achieve a higher energy …
