Caloric effects refer to the reversible thermal responses of solids under the application (or removal) of one or more external fields. These effects can be significantly amplified near a phase transition. In recent years, the research on magnetocaloric, electrocaloric, mechanocaloric, and multicaloric materials and devices has greatly increased, driven by the demand for sustainable solutions for heating and cooling. Solid-state refrigerators and heat pumps based on caloric and multicaloric materials are promising alternatives to the conventional technologies of vapor compression and gas combustion. These materials have also been recently proposed for cryogenic applications in hydrogen liquefaction.
