Abstract
An extremely large magnetic entropy change has been discovered in when subjected to a change in the magnetic field. It exceeds the reversible (with respect to an alternating magnetic field) magnetocaloric effect in any known magnetic material by at least a factor of 2, and it is due to a first order phase transition at 276 K and its unique magnetic field dependence.
