The magnetocaloric effect of various materials: fundamental and applied aspects.

Différents matériaux à effet magnétocalorique : aspects fondamentaux et applicatifs.

Author(s) : GUILLOU F.

Type of monograph: Doctoral thesis

Summary

This thesis reports on the study of several materials – mainly oxides – for use in magnetic refrigeration (MR) applications. Four main aspects were addressed: (1) research on materials with high magnetocaloric effect (MCE); (2) MCE physics and its experimental characterization; (3) production of materials for direct tests in a MR device at room temperature; and (4) additional studies beyond the scope of MR.
Extract from the table of contents: magnetocaloric effect and magnetic refrigeration; sample preparation; experimental methods; determining MCE; approaches for the optimisation/discovery of MCE oxides; case studies; furthering magnetocaloric studies.
