Abstract

The caloric effects under combined applications of magnetic field and hydrostatic pressure to a MnCoSi meta-magnet were investigated. Under a magnetic field change of 0–5 T, the maximum magnetic entropy change was enhanced by 35.7% when a 3.2kbar hydrostatic pressure was applied, and the cooling temperature span was extended by 60 K when a hydrostatic pressure of 9.7 kbar was applied. The coupled caloric entropy change, which originates from the coupling between the magnetism and volume, was calculated and accounted for the enhanced entropy change of MnCoSi. The present work facilitates the use of MnCoSi as a solid-state refrigerant and also enriches the investigation of the multicaloric effect under multiple external fields.
