In this work, the magnetic field dependence of the inverse magnetocaloric (MC) effect is analyzed using a mean field approach for describing antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic magnetoelastic transitions. The model is able to describe both second- and first-order transition through the introduction of a magnetovolume energy term. The power law...

In the present work, using Heusler Ni49+xMn36-xIn15 (with x = 0 and 0.5) alloys, it is shown that the choice of the appropriate measurement protocol (erasing the prior state of the sample in between experiments) in DTad first shot characterization is crucial for obtaining reliable results. Unlike indirect measurements, for which incorrect...
