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 [1].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 [2]. In the context of this talk, I will present the field direction dependence of the thermo-magnetic behavior in single crystalline compounds MnFe4Si3 and Mn5Ge3. The emphasis will be on the direct measurement of the adiabatic temperature change ΔTad in pulsed magnetic fields as it provides the opportunity to examine the sample temperature response to the magnetic field on a time scale close to the real process used in applications [3]. A discussion of how the anisotropy affects the magnetocaloric effect and a comparison between MnFe4Si3 compound, which exhibits easy plane anisotropy, and Mn5Ge3 which features uniaxial anisotropy, will be also presented [4].The Mn5Si3 compound exhibits inverse MCE related to the antiferromagnetic order phase transition AF1 to AF2, and direct MCE related to the AF2 to the paramagnetic phase transitions. Previous studies indicate a transition from the AF1 to AF1' before reaching the AF2 phase [5]. The magnetic structures of the AF1 and AF2 phases have been established [6, 7], while the magnetic structure of the AF1' phase has not been studied before. Therefore, the second part of the talk will be devoted to discuss the results of the investigation of the nuclear and magnetic structure of the intermediate phase AF1' of the single crystalline compound Mn5Si3.[1] K.
