Popis: Magnetocaloric refrigeration has remained a promising alternative to conventional refrigeration for the last few decades. The delay in reaching the market is significantly based on materials’ related issues, such as hysteresis/reversibility, mechanical stability, or formability. This perspective paper shows the current trends in magnetocaloric materials research, highlighting the families of alloys and compounds that are gaining attention in the recent years. It also includes an overview of novel approaches that can be used to analyze these properties that could improve the applicability of magnetocaloric materials.
