Barocaloric Effects in the Solid State (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This text covers 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. Topics include 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 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.
