Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetocaloric effect: From materials research to refrigeration devices
TL;DR: 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, in combination with other environmental benefits associated to a technology that does not rely on the compression/expansion of harmful gases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Magnetocaloric Effect and Magnetic Refrigeration Near Room Temperature: Materials and Models
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the magnetocaloric response of materials for magnetic refrigeration close to room temperature is presented, focusing on the main families of materials suitable for this application and the procedures proposed to predict their response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field dependence of the magnetocaloric effect in materials with a second order phase transition: A master curve for the magnetic entropy change
TL;DR: In this paper, the field dependence of the magnetic entropy change can be expressed as ΔSM∆Hn for soft magnetic amorphous alloys, and a master curve behavior for the temperature dependence of ΔSM measured for different maximum fields is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling laws for the magnetocaloric effect in second order phase transitions: From physics to applications for the characterization of materials
Victorino Franco,A. Conde +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed procedure for constructing the phenomenological universal curve for the magnetic entropy change is presented, together with the exponents which control the field dependence of the different magnetocaloric-related magnitudes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A universal curve for the magnetocaloric effect: an analysis based on scaling relations
TL;DR: In this article, the universal character of the magnetic entropy change, ΔSM, in studies of the magnetocaloric response of materials is analytically justified by using scaling arguments, and the validity of the obtained scaling relations is checked against experimental data as well as the mean field and Heisenberg models.
