Author(s) : MAYER C.

Type of monograph: Doctoral thesis

Summary

PhD thesis presented at Bordeaux 1 University (Ecole doctorale des Sciences Chimiques) in the field of physical chemistry of condensed materials. The work presented in the thesis focuses on a summary of teh characterization of new magnetocaloric materials bases on rare earths for use in magentic refrigeration.
Extract from the table of contents: basic background on magnetic refrigeration and magnetocaloric materials; magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of metallic glasses Gd60M30X10, M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu et X = Al, Ga, In; structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of ternary silicides from R-M-Si (R = Nd, Gd, Tb et M = Co, Ni) systems.
