A quantitative criterion for determining the order of magnetic phase transitions using the magnetocaloric effect

Magnetocaloric materials often perform best when their magnetic transitions are at the boundary between first- and second-order behavior. Here the authors propose a simple criterion to determine the order of a transition, which may accelerate future magnetocaloric material searches.
