内容简介
The mag net ocaloric effect describes the change in temperature of a magnetic material under adiabatic conditions through the app lication or removal of an e x ternal magnetic field. This effect is particularly pro nounced at temperatures and fields corresponding to magnetic pha se transitions, and it is a powerful and widely used tool for investigating the magnetic state and mechanisms of these transitions. Recently, there has been significant interest in its possible ex ploitation in magnetic refrigeration and cryocooling systems. "The Magnetocaloric Effect and its Applications" presents a complete overview of theoretical and experimental research results surrounding the magnetocaloric effect, and a comprehensive discussion of current and potential applications of the phenomenon. The book reviews those materials with magnetic moment both of band and localized nature and various types of magnetic ordering. It also considers materials with more exotic magnetic structures, and gives a detailed discussion on experimental and theoretical studies of a great number of rare earth magnetic materials, with emphasis on the physical interpretation of observed phenomena.
