We present a field theory approach to study changes in local temperature due to an applied electric field (the electrocaloric effect) in electrolyte solutions. Steric effects and a field-dependent dielectric function are found to be of…
Materials exhibiting a large caloric effect could lead to the development of new generation of heat-management technologies that will have better energy efficiency and be potentially more environmentally friendly. The focus of caloric…
In the paper a study of a model magnetoelastic solid system is presented. The system of interest is a mean-field magnet with nearest-neighbour ferromagnetic interactions and the underlying s.c. crystalline lattice with the long-range Morse…
Two-dimensional magnets could potentially revolutionize information technology, but their potential application to cooling technology and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in a material down to the monolayer limit remain unexplored. Herein, we…
We present a simple method for fast and cheap thermal analysis on supercooled glass-forming liquids. This "Thermalization Calorimetry" technique is based on monitoring the temperature and its rate of change during heating or cooling of a…
The electrocaloric effect (ECE) in BaTiO3 is simulated using two different first-principles based effective Hamiltonian molecular dynamics methods. The calculations are performed for a wide range of temperatures (30--900 K) and external…
We employ an effective-field theory with correlations in order to study a magnetocaloric effect on a triangular Ising antiferromagnet, which is selectively diluted by non-magnetic impurities on one of the three sublattices. Such a dilution…
Magnetic and heat capacity measurements have been carried out on the polycrystalline sample of DyNi which crystallizes in the orthorhombic FeB structure (space group Pnma). This compound is ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature of 59 K.…
A novel laser cooling mechanism based on many body effects is presented. The method can be applicable for cooling a large class of atoms and molecules in higher density than commonly excepted by existing methods. The cooling mechanism…
Magnetocaloric materials, which exploit reversible temperature changes induced by magnetic field variations, are promising for advancing energy-efficient cooling technologies. The potential integration of two-dimensional materials into…
We consider the process of cooling of a heavy particle beam in a co-moving electron beam of low temperature guided by a solenoidal magnetic field. This paper summarizes the main results of theoretical studies of this process conducted by…
We propose a theory based on simple physical arguments that describes a non equilibrium steady-state by a temperature-like parameter (an "effective temperature"). We show how one can predict the effective temperature as a function of the…
The isostructural alloying of two compounds with extremely different magnetic and thermo-structural properties has resulted in a new system, (MnNiSi)1-x(FeCoGe)x, that exhibits extraordinary magnetocaloric properties with an acute…
To investigate the caloric effects in the CsH$_2$PO$_4$ ferroelectric, a modified pseudospin model of this crystal is used, which takes into account the dependence of the parameters of interaction between pseudospins on lattice strains. The…
An atomistic effective Hamiltonian is used to compute electrocaloric (EC) effects in rare-earth substituted BiFeO$_{3}$ multiferroics. A phenomenological model is then developed to interpret these computations, with this model indicating…
We describe magneto-, baro- and elastocaloric effects (MCEs, BCEs and eCEs) in materials which possess both discontinuous (first-order) and continuous (second-order) magnetic phase transitions. Our ab initio theory of the interacting…
The electrocaloric effect (ECE), i.e., the reversible temperature change due to the adiabatic variation of the electric field, is of great interest due to its potential technological applications. Based on entropy arguments, we present a…
In this paper, a theoretical journey from electronic to magneto-caloric effect has been shown through the magnetic properties of aluminium induced yttrium chromate. The ground state electronic band structure and density of states have been…
Cooling systems based on the caloric effects of ferroic materials show high potential for various cooling and heat-pumping applications due to their potentially high efficiencies and the lack of any environmentally hazardous refrigerants.…
Barocaloric materials have shown to be promising alternatives to the conventional vapor-compression refrigeration technologies. Nevertheless, barocaloric effect ({\sigma}b-CE) has not been extensively examined for many classes of materials…
