Definition of Magnetocaloric effect

A physical phenomenon when a change of the external magnetic field intensity causes a temperature change of the affected material is called a magnetocaloric effect. The main benefit of the magnetocaloric effect can be found in magnetic refrigeration applications in micro dimensions. It is contactless since it is driven by magnetic field change and is more effective than conventional cooling methods.
