The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is defined as the temperature change of a magnetic material under adiabatic conditions through the application or removal of a magnetic field. The temperature change of sample is directly detected by a RuO₂ thin film thermometer grown on the sample surface by radio-frequency sputtering. The measurement system can be used to investigate the thermodynamic properties of materials in pulsed magnetic fields.
