Transition-metal-based magnetic refrigerants for room-temperature applications
TL;DR: The discovery of a large magnetic entropy change is reported in MnFeP0.45As0.55, a material that has a Curie temperature of about 300 K and which allows magnetic refrigeration at room temperature, attributed to a field-induced first-order phase transition enhancing the effect of the applied magnetic field.
