Calculation model on magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and relative cooling power (RCP) in composite materials at room temperature

Our selected composites could give a larger RCP value among existing magnetocaloric materials for magnetic refrigeration in the temperature range of 280-300 K which is desirable for ideal Ericsson-cycle magnetic refrigeration. The excellent magnetocaloric properties of these two magnetic composites make them attractive for active magnetic refrigeration at room temperature.
