Abstract

ABSTRACTUsing the data about the temperature - pressure phase diagram and the phase transition entropy at ambient and high pressure, intensive and extensive barocaloric effects were analyzed in the region of single and successive order-disorder phase transitions in fluorides and oxyfluorides with the elpasolites-cryolite structure. It was found that hydrostatic as well as chemical pressure are the effective tools to change the entropy of compounds with disordered ionic groups or atoms in structure and to realize the significant intensive and extensive barocaloric effects comparable with the values of baro- and magnetocaloric effects, characteristic for materials, considered as promising solid refrigerants.
