Critical behavior and tunable magnetocaloric effect in (Gd1-xErx)3Al2 alloys

The magnetic properties, magnetocaloric effect, and the critical behavior near Curie temperature (TC) were systematically studied in a series of (Gd1-xErx)3Al2 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) alloys. As the Er content increases, both the TC and lattice constant gradually decrease. The maximum magnetic entropy change and refrigerant capacity remain relatively high, ranging from −5.8 to −8.5J/kg K and 209.0 to 290.8 J/kg respectively, for a field change of 5 T. The critical exponents, derived from the field dependence of magnetic entropy change, conform to scaling theory and are consistent with those obtained using the Kouvel–Fisher method. These findings suggest that the reliability of the obtained critical exponents and imply the presence of long-range exchange interactions in (Gd1-xErx)3Al2 alloys.

La-Fe-Si magnetocaloric composite with anisotropic microstructure prepared by hot pressing

In this study, we have proposed an anisotropic microstructure in La-Fe-Si magnetocaloric composites for thermal management. This is vital to the rapid heat exchange and high working efficiency in magnetic refrigerator system. We demonstrate the anisotropic microstructure in composites can be fabricated via powder metallurgy in this work. By adjusting the particle size of the 1:13 phase, the introduced reinforcing phase with rheological property can effectively deform and anisotropic microstructure can be obviously observed. This can be attributed to the tailored stress distribution in cubic-anvil-type pressure apparatus. The element diffusion between the two phases was also discussed in this paper, taking into account the influence of particle size. Such anisotropic microstructure causes some other anisotropic physical properties in the composite, such as mechanical strength. The compressive measurements along the axial direction exhibit superior mechanical properties (~ 3.5% for strain and ~ 350 MPa for strength) compared to those along the radial direction. Attributed to the stress buffer-effect provided by the introduced ductile phase, magnetocaloric effect (magnetic entropy change ~ 7.8 J/kg K) can be maintained in the La-Fe-Si composite.

Enhanced magnetocaloric effect in nano-sized Dy3Ga5O12 garnet: A comparative study on the effect of solid-state and wet-chemical synthesis

This study investigates the magnetic and structural properties of bulk and nanosized Dy3Ga5O12 (DGG) synthesized through solid-state and wet chemical methods to assess the impact of particle size. The single-phase composition of the synthesized materials was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). XRD and TEM analysis revealed the formation of nanosized DGG via the wet chemical route at 750 °C/2h. The nano DGG exhibits enhanced magnetocaloric effect compared to its bulk counterpart, suggesting its potential as a promising material for low-temperature magnetic refrigeration applications.

Effects of Eu3+ doping on the structural, magnetocaloric effect and critical behavior of Ruddlesden-Popper compounds La1.4-xEuxSr1.6Mn2O7 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1)

The effects of Eu3+ doping on the structural and magnetocaloric effect of Ruddlesden-Popper compounds La1.4-xEuxSr1.6Mn2O7 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) were investigated. The X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy confirmed that La1.4-xEuxSr1.6Mn2O7 compounds exhibited the tetragonal lattice symmetry (I4/mmm) of the Ruddlesden-Popper phase. The crystal structure of La1.4-xEuxSr1.6Mn2O7 compounds distorted and phase separated as the amount of Eu3+ doping varied. The magnetization-temperature curves demonstrated that La1.4-xEuxSr1.6Mn2O7 compounds display a notable transition temperature attributed to its anisotropic exchange coupling. The maximum magnetic entropy changes (−ΔSMmax) of La1.4-xEuxSr1.6Mn2O7(x = 0, 0.075, and 0.1) compounds are 2.82, 3.12 and 3.40 J/(kg·K) at the 5 T applied magnetic field. Meanwhile, its relative cooling power (RCP) was 186.37, 207.42 and 242.54 J/kg, respectively. The critical behavior of La1.4-xEuxSr1.6Mn2O7 (0≤x≤0.1) compounds was analyzed around Tc, and it was found that the critical index (β = 0.413, γ = 1.020, δ = 3.038) is essentially in line with the mean field theory.

Effect of ultrasound immersion pretreatment combined magnetic field assisted freezing on the quality of frozen blueberries

This study investigated the effect of ultrasound combined with static magnetic field freezing on the freezing process and quality changes of blueberries. The aim is to provide a reference for the study of magnetic fields in food. The freezing parameters, quality, and microstructural structure were examined. The results showed that the effect of ultrasound-assisted static magnetic field freezing (U-MF) was better, which significantly shorted the freezing time of the sample. In comparison to −20 °C control frozen (CF), the degree of supercooling increased by 50.08%, freezing time shorted by 16.36%, drip loss decreased by 28.28%, respectively, and the water distribution state was closer to that of fresh fruits. Microstructural analysis indicated that the sample structure of U-MF treated blueberries was better approximated by the fresh sample. Moreover, overall sensory scores for blueberries showed that U-MF treated blueberries presented positive sensory evaluation. In conclusion, ultrasound and static magnetic field play a synergistic effect in assisting freezing, and the combined effect is better than that of ultrasound or static magnetic field alone.

The thermal performance model of a 105 mW@4.41 K 4He Joule-Thomson cryocooler designed for space applications

The 4He Joule-Thomson cryocooler (JTC) ensures the operation of space detectors working within the 4 K temperature range, such as the Block Impurity Band Infrared Detector (BIBID). In addition, the 4He JTC is one of the essential components of the 300 K to 50 mK space cryochain. It can precool sub-Kelvin refrigerators, such as the adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (ADR) and the dilution refrigerator (DR). With the development of space science, the need for cooling power at the 4 K temperature range is growing. Thus, a thermal performance model of the 4He JTC precooled by a two-stage thermally coupled pulse tube cryocooler (PTC) is designed, manufactured, and tested with an eye toward space applications. A four-stage compression system with a high operating frequency and large pistons is designed and used to drive the JT cycle. This 4He JTC has a total mass of 55 kg and can provide a cooling capacity of 105 mW at 4.41 K with a total input electric power of 548 W.

Rational design of MnCoGe alloys for enhanced magnetocaloric performance and reduced thermal hysteresis

MnCoGe alloys are widely recognized as an important family of rare-earth-free magnetocaloric materials by engineering its magnetostructural coupling for giant entropy changes. However, its practicability for magnetic refrigeration is largely hindered by the large thermal hysteresis. In this work, we show that the co-doped MnCoGe compound, namely Mn0.95Cu0.03CoGe with 2 both mol% Mn vacancies and 3 mol% Cu-doping for Mn, displays a maximum entropy change of 29.0 J kg−1K−1 at 295 K under a magnetic field of 5 T, together with a relative cooling power as high as 314.5 J kg−1 and a record low thermal hysteresis of 16 K. The co-doping strategy in MnCoGe finely tunes the structural transition temperature within the range of Curie temperature window, leading to a strong magnetostructural coupling and giant magnetocaloric effect. Meanwhile, Mn-deficiency and Cu-doping considerably reduce the energy difference between martensitic and austenitic MnCoGe, rendering a minimal thermal hysteresis. Our co-doped MnCoGe alloys are robust candidates for near-room-temperature magnetic refrigeration.

Unveiling the magnetic structure of BaFeO3-y: Shedding light on the elusive magnetic behavior

This work provides a comprehensive examination of the structural and magnetic properties of 6H-BaFeO2.96 over a wide temperature range (10 K < T < 300 K) using neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Additionally, the local oxidation state of iron is examined using electron energy loss spectroscopy. No structural changes that could indicate a charge-order transition are observed in spite of a reported possible charge disproportionation of Fe4+ into Fe(4+δ)+ and Fe(4-δ)+ phenomenon at low temperature. According to the magnetic characterization, BaFeO2.96 orders antiferromagnetically at TN=156 K. The application of external magnetic fields strongly influences the magnetic behavior; the transition temperature shifts to lower values with the applied magnetic field and the long-range magnetic order melts with an applied field of 14 T. The magnetocaloric effect clearly shows at TN a change from negative to positive magnetic entropy. The Rietveld refinement of the neutron powder diffraction data collected at 10 K, gives a magnetic ordering with propagation vector [0, 0, ½] and three magnetically distinct sites for the Fe atoms. This magnetic structure consists of ferromagnetic Fe-sheets perpendicular to the c-axis with the magnetic moments along the [110] direction coupled both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetically along the c-axis. The magnetic moment values of the three Fe ions are very different evidencing a delicate equilibrium of competing magnetic interactions.

Giant magnetocaloric effect of Ni-Co-Mn-Ti all-d Heusler alloys in high magnetic fields

Ni-Co-Mn-Ti all-d Heusler alloys are attracting considerable attention for solid-state caloric cooling applications due to their promising combination of excellent caloric and mechanical properties. Here, we report on the maximum attainable magnetocaloric effect in Ni37Co13Mn34.5Ti15.5, which shows a first-order magnetostructural martensitic transformation around room temperature. Heat capacity measurements reveal a giant transition entropy change of 43.5J(kgK)−1 and are utilized to estimate the magnetocaloric effect as well as the magnetic fields required to saturate it in isothermal and adiabatic conditions. Confirming the results based on this approach, we achieve maximum isothermal entropy changes and directly measured adiabatic temperature changes of 37.8J(kgK)−1 and −20.2K, respectively. Thus, the herein reported maximum attainable magnetocaloric effect outperforms classical Ni-Mn-based Heusler alloys, such as Ni(-Co)-Mn-In. Especially the saturated adiabatic temperature change surpasses all previously published values of magnetic field-induced first-order phase transitions measured around room temperature in pulsed magnetic fields in recent years. Thereby, we demonstrate that Ni(-Co)-Mn-Ti Heusler alloys are particularly suitable for the application of sufficiently large external stimuli to fully induce the phase transition and exploit their intrinsically large caloric effect.

Device Model for a Solid‐State Barocaloric Refrigerator

Solid‐state refrigeration represents a promising alternative to vapor compression cooling systems. Solid‐state devices based on magnetocaloric, electrocaloric, and elastocaloric effects have demonstrated the ability to achieve high‐efficiency, reliable, and environment‐friendly refrigeration. Cooling devices based on the barocaloric (BC) effect—entropy change due to applied hydrostatic pressure, however, has not yet been realized despite the significant promise shown in material‐level studies. As a step toward demonstrating a practical cooling system, this work presents a thermodynamic and heat transfer model for a BC refrigerator The model simulates transient thermal transport within the solid refrigerant and heat exchange with hot and cold thermal reservoirs during reversed Brayton refrigeration cycle operation. The model is used to evaluate the specific cooling power (SCP) and coefficient of performance (COP) of the device comprising nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) as a representative BC refrigerant. Experimentally validated BC properties of NBR are used to quantify the contribution of different operating parameters including cycle frequency, applied pressure, operating temperatures, and heat transfer coefficient. The results show that a BC refrigerator operating with a temperature span of 2.4 K and 0.1 GPa applied pressure can achieve an SCP of 0.024 W g−1 at 10 mHz cycle frequency and a COP as high as 5.5 at 1 mHz cycle frequency—exceeding that of conventional vapor compression refrigerators. In addition, to identify key refrigerant properties, the effect of bulk modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity on device performance are quantified. The results highlight the trade‐off between different material properties to maximize the BC response, while minimizing mechanical work and improving thermal transport. This work demonstrates the promise of solid‐state cooling devices based on soft BC materials and provides a framework to quantify its performance at the device‐level.

Advanced Anti-icing and Deicing Strategies for Overhead Power Transmission Lines Based on Giant Magnetocaloric Effect of La0.7Ca0.254Sr0.046MnO3.

Perovskite manganates (AMnO3) exhibit diverse structural, thermal, electrical, and magnetic properties. Their strong magnetocaloric effect (MCE) near the Curie temperature (TC) makes them ideal for magnetic-thermal anti-icing and deicing in power transmission lines. Below TC, ferromagnetic AMnO3 produces heat through multiple mechanisms, with the changing magnetic field induced by the strong AC current, causing heat through magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents, alongside the direct MCE. Above TC, no heating is generated, as MCE is unfavorable, thus preventing additional energy loss at elevated temperatures. In this work, La0.7Ca0.254Sr0.046MnO3 with TC close to 0 °C were synthesized by solid-state reaction. It is found that particle size >10 μm is beneficial for a large MCE, based on the results of particle size dependence of MCE. The resulting maximum magnetic entropy change at 277 K is 7.69 J·kg-1·K-1, and an adiabatic temperature change of 3.87 K at 277 K is achieved under 5 T. The prototype cable is fabricated using a well-established wire drawing process. A climate-simulation chamber is employed for the anti-icing and deicing experiments. The prototype cables demonstrated a strong capability for deicing and anti-icing. This simple and cost-effective prototype cable shows significant potential for mitigating the icing problem of overhead high-voltage power transmission lines.

Large reversible magnetocaloric effect in rare-earth molybdate RE2(MoO4)3 (RE: Gd and Tb) compounds

We report on the synthesis, structural, DC magnetic susceptibility studies on Gd2(MoO4)3 and Tb2(MoO4)3 polycrystals, prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. Temperature and magnetic field (H) dependent magnetization and heat capacity measurements have been carried out to estimate the isothermal magnetic-entropy change (−ΔSm) and adiabatic temperature change (ΔTadi) in both rare-earth molybdates. No obvious long-range magnetic ordering can be found down to 2 K in both studied compounds. The estimated maximum value of –ΔSm at 3.5 K for 70 kOe is 31.1 J kg−1 K−1 and 16.7 J kg−1 K−1 in Gd2(MoO4)3 and Tb2(MoO4)3, respectively. Further, the calculated total-adiabatic temperature change for Gd2(MoO4)3 was 12.8 K, and Tb2(MoO4)3 has shown 9.8 K. The difference in the observed magnetocaloric and adiabatic temperature responses of Tb2(MoO4)3 compared to Gd2(MoO4)3 could be attributed to the presence of orbital angular moment of Tb3+ ions and relatively low-value of magnetization. Both the systems show a large magnetocaloric effect (MCE) (−ΔSm ∼ 12 J kg−1 K−1) even in low applied H (<20 kOe) attainable by a permanent magnet. Large magnetocaloric behaviour of Gd2(MoO4)3 and Tb2(MoO4)3 systems at a moderate field change along with very low electrical conductivity and the absence of thermal and magnetic field hysteresis in magnetization make them conducive to their use as promising magnetic refrigerants in the vicinity of liquid-helium temperatures.

Anisotropic magnetic entropy change and magnetic critical behavior in van der Waals Fe3GaTe2

Fe3GaTe2, with intrinsic magnetism at ambient temperature and high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, is a promising van der Waals material for 2D-materials-based spintronic devices. Herein, we report the anisotropic magnetocaloric effects and magnetic critical phenomena in Fe3GaTe2 single crystal. Owing to the large anisotropy, magnetic entropy change (−ΔSM) shows anisotropic character with −ΔSMmax of 1.67 J kg−1 K−1 along the c axis and 1.11 J kg−1 K−1 in the ab plane under field change of 5 T. The rotating ΔSM from the ab plane to the c axis reaches 0.67 J kg−1 K−1 at magnetic field of 5 T. By carefully fitting the −ΔSMmax and relative cooling power (RCP), we determine their relationships to be −ΔSMmax∝Hn (n = 0.694(1)) and RCP∝Hm (m = 1.301(3)) for the magnetic field along the c-axis. Further analysis of critical behavior near TC reveals critical exponents β = 0.41(1) at TC = 341.5(1) K, γ = 1.01(1) at TC = 341.6(3) K, and δ = 3.67(15) at TC = 340 K, indicating a three-dimensional complex magnetic exchange.

Cryoprotective effect of magnetic field-assisted freezing in combination with curdlan on myofibrillar protein of Litopenaeus vannamei: Oxidative aggregation, protein structure and thermal stability

To counteract the negative effects of conventional freezing methods on frozen surimi products, the present study investigated the effects of magnetic field (MF) freezing in combination with different amounts of curdlan (CUR) on oxidative denaturation, structural alterations, and thermal stability of myofibrillar protein (MP) in shrimp surimi. The results indicated that the intervention of magnetic fields alone improved the quality of frozen muscle proteins. Under the dual intervention of magnetic field-assisted freezing and CUR, small ice crystals formed with MF6 treatment resulted in significantly lower solubility, turbidity, and mean particle size than the control group (p < 0.05). Moreover, the oxidation of MP was also significantly slowed down by inhibiting the formation of hydrophobic groups and carbonyl groups, maintaining a high content of sulfhydryl groups. MF6 also exhibited a high Ca2+-ATPase activity. The α-helix content, the increase in fluorescence intensity under this condition also tend to make the secondary and tertiary structures of myofibrillar protein more stable. Meanwhile, electrophoretic profiles and CLSM showed that this condition maintains the integrity of the MP. In addition, the MF6 samples also had high protein thermal stability. However, excess CUR reduces the excellence of MP cryoprotection. As a result, MF6 has better protection and improvement effects on protein function, structure and thermal stability, and CUR was also found to have the potential for cryoprotectant development.

Tuning the magnetocaloric and structural properties of La0.67Sr0.28Pr0.05Mn1–xCoxO3 refrigeration materials

Abstract The structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of perovskite manganites La0.67Sr0.28Pr0.05Mn1−x Co x O3 (x = 0.05, 0.075 and 0.10) (LSPMCO) are investigated. LSPMCO crystallizes as a rhombohedral structure with R-3c space group. As the Co content increases, the cell volume expands, the Mn–O–Mn bond angle reduces and the length of the Mn–O bond increases. The samples show irregular submicron particles under a Zeiss scanning electron microscopy. The particle size becomes larger with increasing doping. The chemical composition of the samples is confirmed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic (PM) phase transition occurs near the Curie temperature (T C), and all transitions are second-order phase transitions (SMOPT) characterized by minimal thermal and magnetic hystereses. Critical behavior analysis indicates that the critical parameters of LSPMCO closely align with those predicted by the mean-field model. The T C declines with Co doping and reaches near room temperature (302 K) at x = 0.075. The maximum magnetic entropy change ( − Δ S M max ) at x = 0.05 is 4.27 J/kg⋅K, and the relative cooling power (RCP) peaks at 310.81 J/K. Therefore, the system holds significant potential for development as a magnetic refrigeration material, meriting further professional and objective evaluation.

Enhanced magnetocaloric effect in a frustrated spin-5/2 Ising hexagonal bipyramid

We study the thermodynamic properties of a frustrated Ising spin-5/2 hexagonal bipyramidal cluster. By employing exact enumeration, we investigate the ground-state phase diagram and the roles of thermal fluctuations and external magnetic field on the behavior of magnetization and entropy. The magnetocaloric effect of this nanosystem is also investigated by computing the isentropes in the temperature-magnetic field plane and the isothermal entropy change. The ground state exhibits magnetization plateaus at 1/4 and 1/2 of the saturation magnetization and a large degeneracy can be found at specific strengths of exchange couplings and magnetic field. The large ground-state degeneracy leads to an enhanced magnetocaloric effect manifested in the isentropic curves. More importantly, a significant reduction of temperature can be achieved by the isentropic removal of a very weak external field for a wide range of exchange couplings. Therefore, our results indicate that the frustrated spin-5/2 Ising hexagonal bipyramidal cluster is a nanostructure with potential application in efficient magnetic cooling.

Hysteresis behavior and magnetocaloric effect in MnNiGa[formula omitted] full-Heusler alloy

In this manuscript, we studied the magnetic, magnetocaloric, and hysteresis properties of the MnNiGa2 full-Heusler alloy using mean-field theory and first-principles calculations. Initially, we employed the GGA+U method to investigate the structural characteristics of the alloy. Our findings indicated that the ferromagnetic state, with an optimal lattice parameter of 5.88 Å, was the most stable compared to the antiferromagnetic states. Additionally, the exchange interactions, defined as the Hamiltonian parameters of the studied system, were calculated and used in the mean-field approximation. The second-order transition at a Curie temperature of Tc = 373 K, previously revealed experimentally, has been confirmed. Furthermore, the alloy exhibited a relative cooling power (RCP) of 260.43 J/kg and a magnetocaloric effect of 10.34 J/kg.K at an applied magnetic field of 1.4 T. These results suggest that MnNiGa2 is a promising candidate for magnetic refrigeration applications.

Structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric characterizations of geometrically-frustrated SrRE2O4 (RE = Gd, Dy, Ho, Er) oxides for low-temperature cooling applications

The magnetocaloric (MC) properties of many rare earth (RE)-based magnetic solids have been intensively investigated. This research aims to develop suitable MC materials for low-temperature cooling application and to better elucidate their intrinsic properties. We have fabricated four single-phase SrRE2O4 (RE = Gd, Dy, Ho, Er) oxides and conducted a systematic experimental investigation into their structural, magnetic, and low-temperature MC properties. All these SrRE2O4 oxides crystallize in an orthorhombic structure (space group Pnma) and exhibit typical geometrical frustration. This frustration arises from the one-dimensional RE ion zigzag ladders along the c-axis, which link the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice in the ab plane. The elements in SrRE2O4 oxides are uniformly distributed and present with valence states of Sr2+, RE3+, and O2−, respectively. Large low-temperature MC effects and notable performances are realized in these SrRE2O4 oxides, determined by the MC parameters of magnetic entropy change, refrigerant capacity, and temperature-averaged entropy change (with a lift of 5 K). These MC parameters under a magnetic field change of 0–70 kOe are as follows: 34.18 J/kgK, 275.88 J/kg, and 30.74 J/kgK for SrGd2O4; 18.13 J/kgK, 253.83 J/kg, and 17.54 J/kgK for SrDy2O4; 18.81 J/kgK, 354.77 J/kg, and 18.61 J/kgK for SrHo2O4; and 22.63 J/kgK, 284.25 J/kg, and 21.97 J/kgK for SrEr2O4. These values are comparable to those of most recently updated low-temperature MC materials with remarkable performances, making these SrRE2O4 oxides highly interesting for practical cooling applications.

Polar phonons features and intrinsic dielectric properties of RE2CoMnO6 (RE = Tb, Dy, Ho, Tm and Yb) double perovskites

RE-based double perovskite (DP) oxides of the RE₂TMTM'O₆ family exhibit intriguing magnetodielectric (MD) properties and magnetocaloric effects (MCEs), making them promising candidates for applications in high-performance supercapacitors, memories, spintronic devices, and cryogenic magnetic refrigeration. This paper addresses the vibrational properties of RE2CoMnO6 (RE = Tb, Dy, Ho, Tm, and Yb) ceramics for the first time using infrared reflectance spectroscopy. The dielectric merit factors in the microwave (MW) range, including the quality factor (Qu) and the static dielectric constant (ɛ0), were estimated. It was observed that the intrinsic dielectric constants decrease from approximately 26.2 to 14.4 as the rare earth ionic radius decreases. The mean values of these compounds suggest their suitability for applications in MW circuitry devices.

Refrigeration capacity modeling of europium titanate based magnetocaloric compounds using computational single hidden layer intelligent and random forest regression methods

Europium titanate (EuTiO3) is a quantum para-electric magnetocaloric compound with potential application in green magnetic cooling technology. Super-exchange and indirect interactions existing between the magnetic moments of this compound are responsible for the observed magnetic properties such as the refrigeration capacity which falls among the key factors that characterize the usefulness of magnetic system of cooling in addressing energy crisis. Crystallographic substitutions and ionic replacement potentially shift magnetic ordering between anti-ferromagnetism to ferromagnetism and ultimately alters the refrigeration (magnetic) capacity of EuTiO3 compound. This work proposes extreme learning machine (ELM) and random forest regression (RFR) computational approaches to model refrigeration capacity of europium titanate magnetic refrigerant with the aid of applied magnetic field, ionic concentrations and ionic radii predictors. Sigmoid activation based extreme learning machine algorithm(SGA-ELM) demonstrates superior performance over sine function activation based extreme learning machine algorithm(SIA-ELM) with improvement of 0.03 %, 16.04 % and 35.03 % on the basis of Pearson correlation coefficient (CC), root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) performance yardsticks, respectively on testing set of EuTiO3 based magnetocaloric compounds. SGA-ELM performs better than SIA-ELM and RFR model with improvement of 35.03 % and 66.84 %, respectively while SIA-ELM model performs better than RFR model with improvement of 59.97 %. SGA-ELM model developed in this work outperforms the existing swarm based support vector regression (SW-SVR) models with performance improvement of 15.38 % (for SW-SVR-Gas with Gaussian function) and 42. 71 % % (for SW-SVR-Pol with polynomial function) using mean absolute deviation (MAD) performance yardstick. Significance of magnetic field and dopants concentrations on refrigeration capacity of different EuTiO3 perovskite was investigated with SGA-ELM model. The accuracy of developed models in determining refrigeration capacity of EuTiO3 compounds would ultimately circumvents experimental challenges and explores future potentials of these classes of compound for addressing present and future energy crisis in cooling industries.
