Since then other alloys have also demonstrated the giant magnetocaloric effect.
2.
The magnetocaloric effect ( MCE ) is an intrinsic property of a magnetic solid.
3.
Since then, hundreds of peer-reviewed articles have been written describing materials exhibiting magnetocaloric effects.
4.
Current research has been used to describe alloys with a significant magnetocaloric effect in terms of a thermodynamic system.
5.
This giant magnetocaloric effect ( GMCE ) occurred at 270K, which is lower than that of Gd ( 294K ).
6.
Although the concept is straightforward, researchers have been refining the details, first looking for metals that maximize the magnetocaloric effect.
7.
One of the most notable examples of the magnetocaloric effect is in the chemical element gadolinium and some of its alloys.
8.
Gadolinium-based materials, such as Gd 5 ( Si x Ge 1-x ) 4, are currently the most promising materials owing to their high Curie temperature and giant magnetocaloric effect.
9.
Praseodymium alloyed with nickel ( ) has such a strong magnetocaloric effect that it has allowed scientists to approach to within one milliKelvin, one thousandth of a degree of absolute zero.
10.
The underlying mechanism of the effect is not fully established; in particular, different textbooks give conflicting explanations . ( The magnetocaloric effect is an analogous, but better-known and understood, phenomenon .)
