Produktbeschreibung

In recent years, there has been a surge in scientific interest in the physics, chemistry and potential applications of materials displaying caloric effects driven by hydrostatic pressure. Born from other solid-state caloric effects that tackle the need for replacing harmful cooling and heating technologies, the ubiquity of barocaloric compounds has led to investigations in this field that now embrace a broad spectrum of material families, approaches and techniques.

In this book, some of the most qualified researchers in the field take the reader on a journey through the wealth of barocaloric materials science while presenting an array of advanced research methods, both standard and custom-built, lab-scale and large-scale, experimental, theoretical and modelling. The chapters cover topics such as barocaloric effects in polymers, magnetic materials, ferroelastic fluorides and oxyfluorides, spin crossover complexes, hybrid perovskites and plastic crystals. The book also includes atomic simulations of barocaloric effects, and finishes with an evaluation of the energy performances and the environmental impact of the barocaloric effect for refrigeration.

This book brings together the most relevant knowledge generated so far, comprehensively and in detail, in order to serve as a basis for graduate students as well as experienced researchers interested in entering the field.
