Coupling family · coupling:caloric

Caloric (magneto/electro/elasto)

Reciprocal coupling of temperature with stress, strain or field at a solid-state transition — caloric heat pumping in one direction, shape-memory and thermomechanical work in the other.

Condensed matteralso: magnetocaloric, electrocaloric, elastocaloric, caloric effect
