We report a giant magnetocaloric effect near room temperature in an off-stoichiometric Mn-Co-Ge alloy, across the magnetostructural transition. The isothermal entropy change accompanying this transition has a peak value of nearly 40 J/kg-K…
We compute the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in the GdTX (T=Sc, Ti, Co, Fe; X=Si, Ge) compounds as a function of the temperature and the external magnetic field. To this end we use a density functional theory approach to calculate the…
Magnetocaloric materials are typically limited by a trade-off between magnetic entropy and field responsiveness. Here we show that magnetic polarons provide an intermediate regime that mitigates this constraint and enables an exceptional…

We use a calorimetric technique operating in sweeping magnetic field to study the thermomagnetic history- dependence of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in Mn0.985Fe0.015As. We study the magnetization history for which a "colossal" MCE has…
High cooling power of magnetocaloric refrigeration can be achieved only at large amounts of heat, which can be transferred in one cycle from cold end to hot end at quasi-isothermal conditions. The simple experimental method for direct…

The magnetocaloric effect or "magnetic Gr\"uneisen ratio" $\Gamma_H=T^{-1}(dT/dH)_S$ quantifies the cooling or heating of a material when an applied magnetic field is changed under adiabatic conditions. Recently this property has attracted…
