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 …

This review of the current state of magnetocalorics is focused on materials exhibiting a giant
magnetocaloric response near room temperature. To be economically viable for industrial …

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 …

The coupling between structural and magnetic degrees of freedom is crucial for realization
of interesting physical phenomena associated with magneto-structural transformations …

We report a giant effective magnetic refrigeration capacity in a Ni 40 Co 10 Mn 40 Sn 10
multifunctional alloy. With a large magnetization difference between austenite and …

We demonstrate a new method for the direct conversion of heat to electricity using the
recently discovered multiferroic alloy, Ni45Co5Mn40Sn10 1. This alloy undergoes a low …

Publisher Summary The discovery of the ferromagnetic (FM) Heusler alloy Cu 2 MnAl, in the
beginning of the twentieth century, made considerable impact in the field of magnetism …

We have investigated the hysteresis of the temperature-and magnetic field–induced
martensitic phase transition in Ni 50.4 Mn 34.0 Sn 15.6. Specifically, we have characterized …

The alloy Ni 45 Co 5 Mn 40 Sn 10 is shown to be singular relative to nearby alloys in three
following ways:(1) The austenite has remarkably high magnetization (1170 emu/cm 3) and …

The inverse magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in bulk polycrystalline and melt-spun ribbons of the
Ni 43 Mn 42 Co 4 Sn 11 meta-magnetic shape memory alloy (MSMA) is investigated. The …
