Direct and Indirect Determination of the Magnetocaloric Effect in the Heusler Compound Ni<sub>1.7</sub>Pt<sub>0.3</sub>MnGa

Magnetic shape-memory materials are potential magnetic refrigerants, due the caloric properties of their magnetic-field-induced martensitic transformation. The first-order nature of the martensitic transition may be the origin of hysteresis effects that can hinder practical applications. Moreover, t...
