The applicability of magnetocaloric materials is limited by irreversibility. In this work, we evaluate the reversible magnetocaloric response associated with magnetoelastic transitions in the framework of the Bean-Rodbell model. This model allows the description of both second- and first-order magnetoelastic transitions by the modification of the η parameter (η<1 for second-order and η>1 for first-order ones). The response is quantified via the Temperature-averaged Entropy Change (TEC), which has been shown to be an easy and effective figure of merit for magnetocaloric materials. A strong magnetic field dependence of TEC is found for first-order transitions, having a significant increase when the magnetic field is large enough to overcome the thermal hysteresis of the material observed at zero field. This field value, as well as the magnetic field evolution of the transition temperature, strongly depend on the atomic magnetic moment of the material. For a moderate magnetic field change of 2 T, first-order transitions with η≈1.3−1.8 have better TEC than those corresponding to stronger first-order transitions and even second-order ones.

AbstractBoth the longitudinal (LA) Brillouin back-scattering spectra and dielectric permittivity along the [001] direction have been measured as a function of temperature for a relaxor ferroelectric single crystal (PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3)0.68(PbTiO3)0.32 (PMN-32%PT). A sharp ferroelectric phase transition (which is associated with a Landau-Khalatnikov-like phonon damping maximum) was observed near 445 K. As temperature increases, a diffuse phase transition was detected near 280 K. In addition, the nature of the thermal hysteresis for the dielectric permittivity confirms that these transitions (near 280 and 445 K for heating procedure) are diffuse first-order and first-order, It respectively. The dielectric data prove the existence of an electric dipolar relaxation process below 300 K.

The paper presents recent results of ultrasonic investigation of Sn2P2S6 family ferroelectric crystals and their solid solutions in the temperature range 100-300 K. It was shown that in Sn2P2(S,Se)6 crystals the critical ultrasonic velocity slowing down for longitudinal waves propagating along main crystallographic directions is quite sharp and large. The relative change of longitudinal ultrasonic velocity along z-axis at the phase transition gradually increased from 10 % in pure Sn2P2S6 till 25 % for sample with 0.4 content of Se. Such large velocity change causes the large ultrasonic attenuation anomaly. The increase of relaxation time: τ=τ0/(TC-T) leads to the increase of attenuation. Prefactor τ0 was shown to be very small and the critical attenuation anomaly arises in the narrow temperature range close to phase transition. In the 0.4 Se sample the phase transition is of the first order because small thermal hysteresis exists. The ultrasonic velocity behaviour in the ferroelectric phase was described using Landau theory and free energy expansion including sixth order terms. For (Sn,Pb)2P2S6 system the critical ultrasonic anomalies were smaller and the phase transition temperature substantially decreased (for 0.45 Pb sample the phase transition point was at Tc =140 K). The ultrasonic anomalies at phase transition in (PbxSn1-x)2P2S6 have large hysteresis showing that transition is of the first order, far from the critical point.

We have investigated by means of optical microscopy and magnetic measurements the first-order thermal spin transition of the [{Fe(NCSe)(py)2}2(m-bpypz)] spin-crossover compound under various shining intensities, far from the light-induced spin-state trapping region. We found evidence of photo-heating effects on the thermally-induced hysteretic response of this spin-crossover material, thus causing the shift of the thermal hysteresis to lower temperature regions. The experimental results are discussed in terms of the apparent crystal temperature and are analyzed theoretically using two evolution equations of motion, written on the high-spin (HS) fraction and heat balance between the crystal and the thermal bath. A very good qualitative agreement was found between experiment and theory in the stationary regime, explaining the experimental observations well and identifying the key factors governing these photo-thermal effects.
