Failure of the Maxwell relation for the quantification of caloric effects in ferroic materialsRobert Niemann1,2, Oleg Heczko3, Ludwig Schultz1,2, and •Sebastian Fähler1,21IFW Dresden, P.O.

Giant caloric effects were reported in elasto-, electro- and magnetocaloric materials near phase transformations. Commonly, their entropy change is indirectly evaluated by a Maxwell relation. We report the fundamental failure of this approach. We analyze exemplarily the Ni-Mn-Ga magnetic shape memory alloy. An applied field results in magnetically induced reorientation of martensitic variants, which form during the phase transformation. This results in a spurious magnetocaloric effect, which only disappears when repeating the measurement a second time. This failure is universal as the vector character of the applied field is not considered in the common scalar evaluation of a Maxwell relation.
