abstract = {The search for more efficient use of energy has been
leading to a growing interest in the research field of
magnetocaloric materials. The magnetocaloric effect (MCE)
describes the change of temperature or entropy of a material
when exposed to a change of the magnetic field and forms the
basis of magnetocaloric refrigeration technologies. This
utilization of the effect can offer a novel method for
cooling that is economically feasible and ecologically
friendly, and hence the effect attracts the attention of
many researches. MCE is identified by the temperature change
($\Delta$T$_{ad}$) in an adiabatic process, and by the
entropy change ($\Delta$S$_{iso}$) in an isothermal
process.Part of this thesis is devoted to the investigation
of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) by direct measurements in
pulsed magnetic fields as well as by analyzing the
magnetization and specific heat data collected in static
magnetic fields. The emphasis is on the direct measurement
of the adiabatic temperature change $\Delta$T$_{ad}$ in
pulsed magnetic fields as it provides the opportunity to
examine the sample-temperature response to the magnetic
field on a time scale of about 10 to 100 ms, which is on the
order of typical operation frequencies (10 - 100 Hz) of
magnetocaloric cooling devices. Furthermore, the accessible
magnetic field range is extended to beyond 70 T and the
short pulse duration provides nearly adiabatic conditions
during the measurement. In the last years there has been an
upsurge in the knowledge of the MCE and many materials have
been investigated for their MCE characteristics. In the
context of this thesis, the magnetocaloric properties of the
single crystalline compounds MnFe$_{4}$Si$_{3}$ and
Mn$_{5}$Ge$_{3}$ are investigated. Moreover, the nuclear and
magnetic structure of the AF1' phase of the single
crystalline compound Mn$_{5}$Si$_{3}$ are determined. For
the MnFe$_{4}$Si$_{3}$, we have studied the magnetic and
magnetocaloric response to pulsed and static magnetic fields
up to 50 T. We determine the adiabatic temperature change
$\Delta$T$_{ad}$ directly in pulsed fields and compare to
the results of magnetization and specific heat measurements
in static magnetic fields. The high ability of cycling even
in high fields confirms the high structural stability of
MnFe$_{4}$Si$_{3}$ against field changes, an important
property for applications. The magnetic response to magnetic
fields up to $\mu_{0}$H = 35 T shows that the anisotropy can
be overcome by fields of approx. 7 T. For the
Mn$_{5}$Ge$_{3}$, we have investigated the field direction
dependence of the thermo-magnetic behavior in single
crystalline Mn$_{5}$Ge$_{3}$. The adiabatic temperature
change $\Delta$T$_{ad}$ in pulsed fields, the isothermal
entropy change $\Delta$S$_{iso}$ calculated from static
magnetization measurements and the heat capacity have been
determined for field parallel and perpendicular to the easy
magnetic direction [001]. The isothermal magnetization
measurements yield furthermore the uniaxial anisotropy
constants in second and fourth order, K$_{1}$ and K$_{2}$.
We discuss how the anisotropy affects the magneto-caloric
effect (MCE) and compare the results to the related [...]},
