1. The Magnetocaloric Effect in Antiferromagnetic and Noncollinear Magnets
University essay from Uppsala universitet/MaterialteoriAbstract : The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is the temperature change in a magnetic material due to a change in an applied magnetic field. How the MCE behaves in different magnetic materials and at different phase transitions is fundamental to understand. READ MORE

3. Monte-Carlo computations of dose distributions for magnetic resonance guided radiotherapy
University essay from Uppsala universitet/FREIAAbstract : The goal with radiotherapy is to damage tumour cells with ionizing radiation while minimizing radiation to healthy tissue. In recent years magnetic resonance guided radiotherapy has become increasingly popular. With this technique a magnetic resonance image of the patient anatomy is obtained in connection with the treatment session. READ MORE

5. Quantum statistics and the magnetocaloric effect
University essay from Uppsala universitet/MaterialteoriAbstract : Caloric materials show prospect in replacing the function of vaporcompression systems in todays cooling devices, resulting in more energy efficient cooling and eliminating the need for refrigerents which contribute to climate change. This project has focused on magnetocaloric materials, which experience changes in temperature when exposed to magnetic fields. READ MORE
