Magnetocaloric properties of La(Fe,Si)13 compounds

La(Fe,Si)13-based compounds are extremely promising for use in magnetocaloric cooling applications. This thesis aims to address multiple challenges to their use in cooling systems, as well as contribute to the fundamental understanding of their first-order magnetic phase transition. A significant fi...
