Magnetocaloric effect: From materials research to refrigeration devices
(Elsevier, 2018)
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 and temperature control systems, ...

A quantitative criterion for determining the order of magnetic phase transitions using the magnetocaloric effect
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
The ideal magnetocaloric material would lay at the borderline of a first-order and a second-order phase transition. Hence, it is crucial to unambiguously determine the order of phase transitions for both applied magnetocaloric ...

Correction of the Shape Effect on Magnetic Entropy Change in Ball Milled Fe70Zr30 Alloys
(Elsevier, 2018)
The field dependence of the magnetic entropy change (ΔSM) after mechanical alloying of Fe70Zr30 composition starting from high purity powders is studied. Samples with different shapes and different crystalline fraction X ...

Influence of the starting temperature of calorimetric measurements on the accuracy of determined magnetocaloric effect
(Elsevier, 2018)
Availability of a restricted heat capacity data range has a clear influence on the accuracy of calculated magnetocaloric effect, as confirmed by both numerical simulations and experimental measurements. Simulations using ...

The role of Ni in modifying the order of the phase transition of La(Fe,Ni,Si)(13)
(Elsevier, 2018)
In this work, we study the effect of Ni substitution on the magnetocaloric properties of La(Fe,Si)13 compounds. Sample quality has been optimized by a combination of induction melting and suction casting techniques, which ...
