It has been ten years since the discovery of the giant electrocaloric effect in ferroelectric
materials showed that it is possible to employ this effect for substantial cooling applications …

Materials science is recognized as one of the main factors driving development and
economic growth. Since the silicon industrial revolution of the 1950s, research and …

This review of the current state of magnetocalorics is focused on materials exhibiting a giant
magnetocaloric response near room temperature. To be economically viable for industrial …

The magnetic properties, critical behavior, and magnetocaloric effect of perovskite NdMnO 3
are studied. The Nd ordering is induced by the Mn ferromagnetic component with …

We have investigated the magnetocaloric effect in double perovskite Gd 2 NiMnO 6 (GNMO)
and Gd 2 CoMnO 6 (GCMO) samples by magnetic and heat capacity measurements …

We report a systematic study on the magnetic, magnetocaloric (MC), specific heat and
magnetoelectric (ME) properties of the single crystals of rare-earth orthochromites, RCrO3 …

The magnetocaloric properties of single crystalline GdFeO 3 have been investigated in the
temperature range 2–36 K by magnetization and heat-capacity measurements. Remarkably …

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of polycrystalline GdAlO 3 and GdMnO 3
have been investigated to assess their potential usage as magnetic refrigerants at cryogenic …

This chapter attempts to systematically outline some fundamentals and key experimental
results concerning magnetic properties of perovskite manganites, focusing on (i) …

Hexagonal rare-earth manganites and ferrites are well-known improper ferroelectrics with
low-temperature antiferromagnetism/weak ferromagnetism. In recent decades, new multi …
