Abstract:
The effect of hydrostatic pressure on thermally and field-induced first-order magnetic phase transitions is studied in the La(Fe,Si)_(13)-type compounds. A peculiar series of consecutive field-induced transitions is realized using a distinct combination of hydrostatic pressure and negative pressure created by the interstitial insertion of hydrogen. The pressure-induced discontinuous magnetization jumps result in an enhanced cooling power, thus opening up the possibility to exploit in full the magnetocaloric potential of this compound class.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
