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 …

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

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

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 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 …

This book has its genesis in the 2007 Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall Meeting where
we organized the symposium “Nanoscale Magnetic Materials and Applications”. This …

Application of hydrostatic pressure under adiabatic conditions causes a change in
temperature in any substance. This effect is known as the barocaloric effect and the vast …

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 …

Caloric materials are in the spotlight as candidates for future environmentally friendly
cooling technologies. We describe stimulating recent developments in the three caloric …
