The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) can be used in magnetic refrigeration, which is emerging as one of the most promising alternatives in the modern-day quest for sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly cooling technology. A magnetocaloric device works by applying and removing external magnetic field to a magnetocaloric material in manner similar to cooling effect is achieved in a gas-based refrigerant by applying and removing external pressures.
