Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths: Including Actinides is a continuous
series of books covering all aspects of rare earth science, including chemistry, life sciences …

We investigate the magnetocaloric effect dependency on the most important microscopic
parameters of ferromagnetic materials, such as the Curie temperature (TC), the spin value …

We here describe and numerically simulate a new solid state active magnetic regenerative
refrigerator (AMRR) aiming bulk applications. This system uses magnetocaloric materials …

The coupling between electric, magnetic and elastic features in multiferroic materials is an
emerging field in materials science, with important applications on alternative solid-state …

We have investigated numerically the dependence of the temperature span and optimum
operating frequency of solid state magnetic refrigerators on the most important physical …

The iron-based compounds GdFe 2− x (Cu, Cr) x (x= 0, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2) were synthesized
successfully by means of arc-melting and annealing at 800° C for one week. The structural …

The implementation of processed magnetic materials onto thermoplastics can be an
approach for practical use of brittle intermetallic materials on device development with the …

We have studied the magnetic entropy change of highly ordered La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3
nanotube arrays synthesized by template assisted sol-gel method in temperatures ranging …

Rare earth metals form intermetallic compounds with most of the metallic and semimetallic
elements in the periodic table. Due to chemical similarities among 16 of the 17 rare earth …
