Heusler alloys, discovered serendipitously at the beginning of the twentieth century, have
emerged in the twenty-first century as exciting materials for numerous remarkable functional …

Highlights Barocaloric methods offer the widest range among solid-state caloric materials
where to pick and choose. However, ideal barocaloric materials do not exist and a trade-off …

Abstract Novel Ni-Co-Mn-Ti all-d-metal Heusler alloys are exciting due to large multicaloric
effects combined with enhanced mechanical properties. An optimized heat treatment for a …

Emerging caloric cooling technology provides a green alternative to conventional vapor-
compression technology which brings about serious environmental problems. However, the …

Barocaloric is the more recent among the caloric technologies employing solid-state
materials. The name derives from BaroCaloric Effect (BCE), the phenomenon responsible of …

Full Heusler alloys display a wide range of physical phenomena with potential applications
in different areas. However, researchers still struggle to overcome many limiting factors to …

One of the greatest obstacles to the real application of solid-state refrigeration is the huge
driving fields. Here, we report a giant barocaloric effect in inorganic NH4I with reversible …

Exploring novel materials with superior elastocaloric effect (eCE) is a central issue for the
development of eCE refrigeration technique. In this work, we report a giant adiabatic …

Plastic crystals undergo phase transitions with unusually large volume and entropy changes
related to strong molecular orientational disordering. These features have led to a resurgent …

The elastic properties, phase stability, and magnetism and correlations among them in all-d-
metal Heusler compounds, ie, Ni 2 Mn T (T= Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W) were …
