Magnetocaloric effect compounds

Table 9.2 List of selected compounds with -ASM, their density and adjusted magnetocaloric effect.

Figures 3 and 4 illustrate for the (TMTSF)2C104 compound, the two main effects of the cooling rate. The first effect concerns the shift of the threshold field, as displayed on Fig. 3 the threshold fields corresponding to quenched and relaxed states are represented by solid and dashed arrows, respectively. This shift is responsible for the discrepancy we observed between the threshold fields, as determined by specific heat or by magnetocaloric effect measurements 31,32 fact. Figure 3 leads to a first conclusion in order to construct a coherent phase diagram, all the experiments are to be performed for the same cooling rate, at...
