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 …

Since the classical molecular dynamics simulator LAMMPS was released as an open source
code in 2004, it has become a widely-used tool for particle-based modeling of materials at …

Energy-efficient and environment-friendly elastocaloric refrigeration, which is a promising
replacement of the conventional vapor-compression refrigeration, requires extraordinary …

We show that the first order magneto-structural phase transitions observed in various
classes of magnetic solids are often accompanied by useful multi-functional properties …

DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201304788 even though these compounds are most prone to such
drawbacks, is the negative role of hysteresis. Since all MCE applications have a cyclic …

First-order magnetic transitions (FOMTs) with a large discontinuity in magnetization are
highly sought in the development of advanced functional magnetic materials. Isosymmetric …

Thermal energy storage using phase change materials (PCMs) offers enormous potential for
regulation of unmatched energy supply and demand of renewable energy resources …

In this paper, we illustrate the dilemma of inverse magnetocaloric materials using the
example of Heusler alloys. For such materials, the magnetic and lattice contribution to the …

Hydrostatic pressure represents an inexpensive and practical method of driving caloric
effects in brittle magnetocaloric materials, which display first‐order magnetostructural phase …

We report on calorimetric measurements under hydrostatic pressure that enabled us to
determine the barocaloric effect in Gd 5 Si 2 Ge 2⁠. The values for the entropy change for …
