Phase Transition, Magnetocaloric Effect, and Critical Behavior of Room Temperature Magnetic Refrigerant Material Mn5Ge2.7Zn0.3 by XU Tongjie, LIU Zhenhua, JIN Huaiyu, LIU Jie, JIANG Xiuli, LI Zhe, LIU Yongsheng

“…The sample underwent a second-order phase transition through the M2-H/M plot and Banerjee’s criterion, and the isothermal entropy change of the sample was further calculated according to Maxwell’s equation, and the power-law relationship of field-entropy and the normalization curve also verified the fact of the second-order phase transition. The critical index was solved by the modified Arrott plot(MAP) method, the Kouvel-Fisher(KF) method and the critical isothermal (CI) method, and the accuracy of the critical index was verified by Widom scaling ansatz and scaling laws. …”

Classification and Disintegration Characteristics of the Carboniferous Rocks in Guangxi, China by Peng Mo, Junhui Luo, Decai Mi, Zhenchao Chang, Haifeng Huang, Tao Zhang, Guanhua Sun, Yan Li, Ling Zeng, Shihai Wang

“…The test results showed the following: (1) the disintegration residues of the carbonate chert and the carbonaceous argillaceous limestone decrease linearly as the number of wetting-drying cycles increases. (2) The disintegration index of the carbonaceous illite clay mudstone and the carbonaceous illite clay shale decreases exponentially as the number of wetting-drying cycles increases. (3) As the number of wetting-drying cycles increases, the disintegration index curves of the carbonaceous illite clay mudstone and the carbonaceous illite clay shale samples gradually become stable until the disintegration of the samples is completed. (4) The disintegration of carbonaceous rocks is mainly affected by the clay content, followed by the structural form, but it cannot be ignored.…”
