Fe 2 P-type compounds exhibit a giant magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and are extensively
studied for room temperature applications. The reduction of their transition temperature …

Assisted-microwave heating involves the use of a susceptor to initially heat up reactants in a
microwave reaction. Once hot, the reactants themselves become directly susceptible to …

The development of new—cheaper, more efficient, more sustainable, and more reliable—
functional materials with useful properties calls for ever-improving, smart, and innovative …

The highly regarded Fe2P-based magnetocaloric materials are usually fabricated by ball
milling, and require an additional extended annealing treatment at high temperatures (at …

Materials with strongly coupled magnetic and structural transitions can display a giant
magnetocaloric effect, which is of interest in the design of energy-efficient and …

Glass and glass-ceramic samples of metastable lithium thiophosphates with compositions of
70Li2S-30P2S5 and Li7P3S11 were controllably prepared by using a rapid assisted …

An exciting development over the past few decades has been the use of high-throughput
computational screening as a means of identifying promising candidate materials for a …

To enhance the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of magnetocaloric materials
in the application of magnetic refrigeration, Cu was introduced into (Mn, Fe) 2 (P, Si) system …

Initially, vanadium dioxide seems to be an ideal first-order phase transition case study due to
its deceptively simple structure and composition, but upon closer inspection there are …

Promising materials for magnetic refrigeration and thermomagnetic power generation often
display strong coupling between magnetism and structure. It has been previously proposed …
