On the estimation of the magnetocaloric effect by means of microwave technique

The method based on low-field microwave absorption measurements is presented to estimate the relative change of entropy with magnetic field. This method is illustrated on both the polycrystalline Gd5Si2Ge2 alloy and the single crystalline La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 manganite. It is shown that there is the simpl...
