Buzzi, M. Cugini, F. Pellicelli, R. Pernechele, C. Caron, L. Brück, E. Solzi, M. Faculty Applied Sciences Department RST/Radiation, Science and Technology Date 2013-07-29 Abstract n experimental setup for the direct measurement of the magnetocaloric effect capable of simulating high frequency magnetothermal cycles on laboratory-scale samples is described. The study of the magnetocaloric properties of working materials under operative conditions is fundamental for the development of innovative devices. Frequency and time dependent characterization can provide essential information on intrinsic features such as magnetic field induced fatigue in materials undergoing first order magnetic phase transitions. A full characterization of the adiabatic temperature change performed for a sample of Gadolinium across its Curie transition shows the good agreement between our results and literature data and in-field differential scanning calorimetry.
