Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

This text covers the wealth of barocaloric materials science while presenting an array of advanced research methods, both standard and custom-built, lab-scale and large-scale, experimental, theoretical and modelling. Topics include barocaloric effects in polymers, magnetic materials, ferroelastic fluorides and oxyfluorides, spin crossover complexes, hybrid perovskites and plastic crystals. The book also includes atomic simulations of barocaloric effects, and an evaluation of the energy performances and the environmental impact of the barocaloric effect for refrigeration. This book brings together the most relevant knowledge generated so far, comprehensively and in detail, in order to serve as a basis for graduate students as well as experienced researchers interested in entering the field.

Key Features

Dr Pol Lloveras is an associate professor at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain, where he specialises in high-pressure techniques for the analysis of barocaloric effects. He has contributed to identifying for the first time several excellent barocaloric material families, such as ferroelectric materials, superionic conductors, plastic crystals and layered hybrid perovskites, and enjoys close collaborations with several top research groups around the world.
