Heusler alloys, discovered serendipitously at the beginning of the twentieth century, have
emerged in the twenty-first century as exciting materials for numerous remarkable functional …

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 …

Magnetic cooling could be a radically different energy solution substituting conventional
vapour compression refrigeration in the future. For the largest cooling effects of most …

Heusler compounds are a remarkable class of intermetallic materials with 1: 1: 1 (often
called Half-Heusler) or 2: 1: 1 composition comprising more than 1500 members. Today …

The magnetic refrigeration technique based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) has
attracted increasing interest because of its high efficiency and environment friendliness. In …

Magnetic Heusler alloys which undergo a martensitic transition display interesting functional
properties. In the present review, we survey the magnetocaloric effects of Ni–Mn-based …

The search for materials showing large caloric effects close to room temperature has
become a challenge in modern materials physics and it is expected that such a class of …

The magnetocaloric effect is the heating or cooling of magnetic materials when subjected to
magnetic field variation. It is characterized by the temperature change (ΔTad) in an adiabatic …

Recent progress on caloric effects are reviewed. The application of external stimuli such as
magnetic field, hydrostatic pressure, uniaxial stress and electric field give rise respectively to …
