The use of the barocaloric effect for refrigeration : an evaluation of the energy performances and the environmental impact / Luca Cirillo, Adriana Greco and Claudia Masselli; Materials scientists, condensed matter physicists and development engineers working in the field of barocaloric effects, including fundamental research (experimental, theoretical and modelling) and device development. As the book will cover essential aspects as well as cutting-edge research, it will be useful for early career researchers and will stimulate further investigations for experienced researchers in the field; Also available in print N2 - 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 UR - https://iopscience.iop.org/book/edit/978-0-7503-4690-0 ER -
