LaFe11.8Si1.2 bulk magnetocaloric materials were prepared by hot-pressing sintering (HPS) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) techniques. The effects of the particle size, phase content and porosity on the thermal conductivity, mechanical and magnetocaloric properties were studied. Our results demonstr...
