ERC Adv. Grant – Cool Innov – Turning the concept of magnetocaloric cooling on its head
The ERC Advanced Grant COOL INNOV aims for a breakthrough in efficient refrigeration by rethinking the whole concept of caloric cooling: instead of squeezing the best out of magnetostructural materials in relatively low magnetic fields, a second stimulus in the form of pressure will help to exploit the hysteresis. Exploiting the hysteresis, not avoiding.
