The inverse magnetocaloric effect occurs when a magnetic material cools down under applied magnetic field in an adiabatic process. Although the existence of the inverse magnetocaloric effect was recently reported experimentally, a theoretical microscopic description is almost nonexistent. In this paper we theoretically describe the inverse magnetocaloric effect in antiferro- and ferrimagnetic systems. The inverse magnetocaloric effects were systematically investigated as a function of the model…

Anisotropic magnetocaloric effect in antiferromagnetic systems: Application to EuTiO3
In this work, we theoretically predicted an anisotropic magnetocaloric effect of the same order of magnitude of the usual magnetocaloric effect for antiferromagnetic systems. The anisotropic magnetic
The influence of the magnetoelastic interaction on the magnetocaloric effect in ferrimagnetic systems: a theoretical investigation.
TLDR
The magnetocaloric effect is theoretically investigated considering a microscopic model Hamiltonian, which describes a magnetic system formed by two sublattices of different magnetic ions coupled by exchange and magnetoelastic interactions, besides two simultaneous first-order magnetic phase transitions which were predicted.
Specific features of magnetocaloric effect in isotropic antiferromagnets
The molecular-field method has been used to study the magnetocaloric effect and the dependence of the magnetic entropy on an external magnetic field in a two-sublattice isotropic antiferromagnet. It

The thermodynamics of a spin-1/2 magnetic multilayer system with antiferromagnetic interplanar couplings is studied using the pair approximation method. Special attention is paid to magnetocaloric
Entropy and magnetocaloric effect in ferrimagnets RCo2
The equations of state for the magnetic and elastic subsystems of a ferrimagnet are obtained in terms of the exchange–striction model. In the formulas derived for magnetic entropy, it is represented

Giant magnetocaloric effect of MnAs1−xSbx
A giant magnetocaloric effect was found in MnAs, which undergoes a first-order ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition at 318 K. The magnetic entropy change caused by a magnetic field of 5 T is as
Inverse magnetocaloric effect in ferromagnetic Ni–Mn–Sn alloys
TLDR
An inverse situation in Ni–Mn–Sn alloys is reported, whereby applying a magnetic field adiabatically, rather than removing it, causes the sample to cool, thus giving rise to an inverse magnetocaloric effect.
