Spin Crossover Transition Driven by Pressure: Barocaloric Applications

open access: yesPhysica B: Condensed Matter, 2023
This article describes a mean-field theoretical model for Spin-Crossover (SCO) materials and explores its implications. It is based on a simple Hamiltonian that yields the high spin molar fraction as a function of temperature and pressure, as well as a temperature-pressure phase diagram for the SCO transition. In order to test the model, we apply it to

Enhancing the Heat Transfer in an Active Barocaloric Cooling System Using Ethylene-Glycol Based Nanofluids as Secondary Medium

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Barocaloric cooling is classified as environmentally friendly because of the employment of solid-state materials as refrigerants. The reference and well-established processes are based on the active barocaloric regenerative refrigeration cycle, where the

Thermodynamics of multicaloric effects in multiferroic materials; application to metamagnetic shape memory alloys and ferrotoroidics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We develop a general thermodynamic framework to investigate multicaloric effects in multiferroic materials. This is applied to the study of both magnetostructural and magnetoelectric multiferroics.

Reversible adiabatic temperature changes at the magnetocaloric and barocaloric effects in Fe49Rh51 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report on the adiabatic temperature changes (Delta T) associated with the magnetocaloric and barocaloric effects in a Fe49Rh51 alloy, For the magnetocaloric effect, data derived from entropy curves are compared to direct thermometry measurements.

Reversible and irreversible colossal barocaloric effects in plastic crystals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The extremely large latent heat exchanged in phase transitions involving strong molecular orientational disordering has recently led to the proposal of plastic crystals as a feasible solution for solid-state barocaloric eco-friendly cooling technologies.

Improving barocaloric properties by tailoring transition hysteresis in Mn3Cu Sn N antiperovskites

open access: yesJPhys 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]

open access: yesPhysical 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 ...
