All-d-metal Ni(Co)-Mn(X)-Ti (X = Fe or Cr) Heusler Alloys: Enhanced Magnetocaloric Effect for Moderate Magnetic Fields
(Elsevier, 2023)
All-d-metal Ni(Co)-Mn-Ti Heusler alloys show high magnetocaloric/barocaloric effects ascribed to the occurrence of a martensitic transformation together with excellent mechanical properties. However, high magnetic fields ...

Nanostructuring as a procedure to control the field dependence of the magnetocaloric effect
(Elsevier, 2017-01)
In this work, the field dependence of the magnetocaloric effect of Gd bulk samples has been enhanced through nanostructuring of the material. Nanostructuring consists in multilayers preparation by alternative rf-sputter ...

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 ...

First-order Phase Transition in High-performance La(Fe,Mn,Si)13H Despite Negligible Hysteresis
(Elsevier, 2023)
Optimizing the performance of magnetocaloric materials is facilitated by understanding the thermomagnetic transitions they undergo, including the order of these transitions and their strength. Those exhibiting strong ...

Grinding and particle size selection as a procedure to enhance the magnetocaloric response of La( Fe, Si)(13) bulk samples
(Elsevier, 2017-05)
The magnetocaloric effect of La(Fe,Si)13 samples deteriorates with the presence of secondary phases. However, it is highly challenging to produce single phase samples by conventional procedures and purification requires ...

Ball milling as a way to produce magnetic and magnetocaloric materials: a review
(Springer Nature, 2017)
Ball milling (BM) is a well-established technique for producing different materials in powder shape. Dynamical analysis of BM helps to optimize the process through simple but general relations (e.g., definition of an ...

First- and second-order phase transitions in RE6Co2Ga (RE = Ho, Dy or Gd) cryogenic magnetocaloric materials
(Science in China Press, 2021)
Rare-earth (RE) rich intermetallics crystallizing in orthorhombic Ho6Co2Ga-type crystal structure exhibit peculiar magnetic properties that are not widely reported for their magnetic ordering, order of magnetic phase ...

Increased magnetocaloric response of FeMnNiGeSi high-entropy alloys
(Elsevier, 2021)
The search for high-entropy alloys (HEAs), a new class of materials, with high magnetocaloric perfor- mance can address the open question about their potential in functional applications. HEAs exist in a vast compositional ...

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 ...
