The Magnetocaloric Effect and its Applications

by A.M. Tishin, Y.I. Spichkin

Overview

The magnetocaloric effect describes the change in temperature of a magnetic material under adiabatic conditions through the application or removal of an external magnetic field. This effect is particularly pronounced at temperatures and fields corresponding to magnetic phase transitions, and it is a powerful and widely used tool for investigating t
