The magnetocaloric effect has been studied on the basis of experimental measurements of magnetization. Maxwell’s relation and a phenomenological model are employed to find the change in magnetic entropy.

Numerous approaches have been used to explore the spontaneous magnetization behaviour and inverse of the susceptibility, including the modified Arrott technique, the Kouvel–Fisher approach, and the fitting of the critical isotherm. The scaling hypothesis has been used to confirm the validity and interdependence of the critical exponents associated with these phenomena.
