Description

A method for measuring the adiabatic temperature change ΔTS upon quasi-static application of an external magnetic field H is proposed. ΔTS is directly measured with an accuracy better than 0.01K. Results of experiments on the giant magnetocaloric compound Tb5Si2Ge2 are compared with those obtained from magnetization and heat capacity in an applied field
