Magnetocaloric Effect forms the basis of magnetocaloric refrigeration technology which is an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly method for cooling [1]. A large single crystal of MnFe4Si3 was grown; this allows one to determine the crystal and magnetic structure of the compound reliably [2].
In this contribution, we will present the direct measurements of ΔTad in pulsed magnetic fields up to 50T using a home-built experimental set-up from HLD [3]. This technique provides nearly adiabatic conditions during the measurements. The results show that the material can by reversibly cycled which is an important requirement for the applications. We will also compare the results to the ones obtained from magnetization measurements in static magnetic fields using PPMS.
