Analysis of the Magnetocaloric Effect in Heusler Alloys: Study of Ni50CoMn36Sn13 by Calorimetric Techniques

Direct determinations of the isothermal entropy increment, \(-\Delta S_T\), in the Heusler alloy Ni\(_{50}\)CoMn\(_{36}\)Sn\(_{13}\) on demagnetization gave positive values, corresponding to a normal magnetocaloric effect. These values contradict the results derived from heat-capacity measurements a...
