Improving barocaloric properties by tailoring transition hysteresis in Mn3Cu Sn N antiperovskites
JPhys Energy, 2023 The magnetically frustrated manganese nitride antiperovskite family displays significant changes of entropy under changes in hydrostatic pressure near a first-order antiferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase transition that can be useful for the emerging ...

Large barocaloric effects in thermoelectric superionic materials [PDF]
Physical Review Materials, 2020 We predict the existence of large barocaloric effects above room temperature in the thermoelectric fast-ion conductor ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{2}\mathrm{Se}$ by using classical molecular dynamics simulations and first-principles computational methods. A hydrostatic pressure of 1 GPa induces large isothermal entropy changes of $|\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}S ...

Barocaloric effect in the magnetocaloric prototype Gd5Si2Ge2
Applied Physics Letters, 2012 We report on calorimetric measurements under hydrostatic pressure that enabled us to determine the barocaloric effect in Gd5Si2Ge2. The values for the entropy change for moderate pressures compare favourably to those corresponding to the magnetocaloric effect in this compound.

Giant reversible barocaloric response of (MnNiSi)1−x(FeCoGe)x (x = 0.39, 0.40, 0.41)
APL Materials, 2019 MnNiSi-based alloys and isostructural systems have traditionally demonstrated impressive magnetocaloric properties near room temperature associated with a highly tunable first-order magnetostructural transition that involves large latent heat.

Martensitic Transformation and Barocaloric Effect in Co-V-Ga-Fe Paramagnetic Heusler Alloy
Metals, 2022 In the present study, polycrystalline Co50V34Ga16−xFex (1≤x≤2) quaternary Heusler alloys were fabricated by the arc-melting method. It was found that they undergo a paramagnetic martensitic transformation (MT) from the L21-type cubic austenitic structure

Multisite Exchange-Enhanced Barocaloric Response in Mn_{3}NiN
Physical Review X, 2018 We study the barocaloric effect (BCE) in the geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet Mn_{3}NiN across the Néel transition temperature. Experimentally, we find a larger barocaloric entropy change by a factor of 1.6 than that recently discovered in the ...
