Download or read book Magnetocaloric Effect in Perovskite Manganites written by H. Gencer and published by Materials Research Forum LLC. This book was released on 2020-08-15 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For environmental concerns, it is highly desirable to replace gas-based refrigeration by magnetic refrigeration. Magnetic refrigeration has significant advantages such as small volume, chemical stability, low cost, non-toxicity and not causing sound pollution. Among the pertinent magnetocaloric materials, perovskite manganites are of special interest because they exhibit extremely large magnetic entropy and adiabatic temperature variations, a small thermal or magnetic hysteresis, high chemical stability. Further, the Curie temperature and saturation magnetization can be tailored by changing doping element and doping concentrations. The book references 289 original resources and includes their direct web link for in-depth reading. Keywords: Magnetic Refrigeration, Magnetocaloric Effect, Perovskite Manganites, Perovskite Structure, Magnetic Entropy, Magnetic Hysteresis, Thermal Hysteresis, Chemical Stability, Curie Temperature, Saturation Magnetization, Lanthanides.
