Abstract
We demonstrate that magnetocaloric measurements can rapidly reveal details of the phase diagrams of high-temperature skyrmion hosts, concurrently yielding quantitative latent heats of the field-driven magnetic phase transitions. Our approach addresses an outstanding issue in the phase diagram of the skyrmion host FeGe by showing that dc magnetic anomalies can be explained in terms of entropic signatures consistent with a phase diagram containing a single pocket of skyrmionic order and a Brazovskii transition.
