Miniature-scale elastocaloric cooling by rubber-based foils
JPhys Energy, 2023 We report on the design and characterization of a demonstrator device for miniature-scale elastocaloric (eC) cooling using a series of natural rubber (NR) foil specimens of 9 × 26.5 mm ^2 lateral size and thicknesses in the range of 290–900 μ m.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 21, November 10, 2025.This study showcases the airbrush method, a novel coating technique for the preparation of thin black paint coatings for infrared camera measurements. Using the method, coatings with an emissivity of 0.95, and as thin as 3 µm can be prepared. The method is affordable, non‐destructive, and can be prepared onto a wide range of substrates while ...

Orientation dependent cyclic stability of the elastocaloric effect in textured Ni-Mn-Ga alloys
AIP Advances, 2018 High-performance elastocaloric materials require a large reversible elastocaloric effect and long life cyclic stability. Here, we fabricated textured polycrystalline Ni50.4Mn27.3Ga22.3 alloys by cost-effective casting method to create a texture.

The impact of hysteresis on the electrocaloric effect at first-order phase transitions
, 2017 We study the impact of thermal hysteresis at the first-order structural/ferroelectric phase transitions on the electrocaloric response in bulk BaTiO$_3$ by performing molecular dynamics simulations for a first-principles-based effective Hamiltonian.

Elastocaloric effect in Ti-Ni shape-memory wires associated with the B2 ↔ B19' and B2 ↔ R structural transitions [PDF]
, 2016 "We have studied the elastocaloric properties of Ti-Ni shape-memory wires subjected to specific heat treatments to decouple the B2 R transition from the B2 B19' one.

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 20, October 2025.A simulative evaluation of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures for an elastocaloric application under compressive load is performed. For the evaluation of the structure's performance, surface/volume ratio, generated heat and invested mechanical work are taken into account and are compared to a tube as a reference specimen.
