报告题目:GAINING INFORMATION OF PHASE TRANSITIONS AND CRITICAL PHENOMENA VIA MAGNETOCALORIC STUDIES
摘要
The increasing concern of modern societies about energy efficiency, together with the fact that temperature control accounts for a large portion of the energy consumption at homes and commercial buildings, has fostered research on the applicability of magnetocaloric materials for magnetic refrigeration. Most of the current studies on magnetocaloric materials focus on the optimization of their properties for room temperature magnetic refrigeration. The aim of this talk is to show that MCE can be used for characterizing magnetic phase transitions. We will present examples in which the critical exponents and transition temperatures could be determined (even when standard techniques could not be applied), cases in which the scaling nature of MCE is used to determine the order of a phase transition (even when the Banerjee criterion gave misleading results), or how tailoring the microstructure of a material at the nanoscale can lead to magnetocaloric responses which are qualitatively different from the bulk. This deeper understanding of the phase transitions giving rise to MCE should create paths along which new applications of these materials should be found.
