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 modern version of the KKR (Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker) method represents the
electronic structure of a system directly and efficiently in terms of its single-particle Green's …

In the past 20 years, there has been a surge in research on the magnetocaloric response of
materials, due mainly to the possibility of applying this effect for magnetic refrigeration close …

Magnetocaloric materials with a Curie temperature near room temperature have attracted
significant interest for some time due to their possible application for high‐efficiency …

This review addresses the method of explicit calculations of interatomic exchange
interactions of magnetic materials. This involves exchange mechanisms normally referred to …

Refrigeration is one of the main sinks of the German and European electricity consumption
and accordingly contributes to worldwide CO2 emissions. High reduction potentials are …

A review is given of experimental and theoretical works concerning the investigation of
magnetic and structural phase transitions and of the magnetocaloric effect in Ni-Mn-X (X …

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 …

We present ab initio calculations of magnetic exchange parameters of stoichiometric
Heusler compound Ni 2 MnSn and a few nonstoichiometric Ni 2 Mn 1+ x Sn 1− x cases. Use …

In the present paper, the electronic structure, magnetic, magnetocaloric, and thermoelectric
properties of the perovskite LaFeO 3 compound are investigated, by using first-principles …
