The present invention concerns, in particular, a method for obtaining a product with magnetocaloric effect from a single piece of material having a magnetic phase transition, the method comprising irradiation of at least one part of the material with ions, the irradiation being carried out with a suitable flux so that, after the irradiation, the material has various magnetic phase transition temperatures in the various parts of the material. 1. Method for obtaining a magnetocaloric product from a single piece of material having a magnetic phase transition , the method comprising irradiating at least part of the material with ions , wherein said irradiating is conducted with a fluence adapted so that the material has , after said irradiating , different magnetic phase transition temperatures in different parts of the material.2. Method according to claim 1 , wherein the single piece of material has a first-order magnetic phase transition.3. Method according to claim 1 , wherein the fluence is adapted so that the magnetic phase transition temperature of the material varies by at least 0.5 kelvin between two different parts of the material.4. Method according to claim 1 , wherein the fluence is adapted so that the material has claim 1 , after said irradiating claim 1 , a maximum difference in the magnetic phase transition temperatures of the different parts of the product of value within the range of 0.5 to 150 kelvins.5. Method according to claim 1 , wherein the fluence is adapted so that the magnetic phase transition temperature of the material varies claim 1 , after said irradiating claim 1 , monotonously from a first part of the material to a second part of the material.6. Method according to claim 1 , wherein the fluence is adapted so that the magnetic phase transition temperature of the material varies claim 1 , after said irradiating claim 1 , continuously from a first part of the material to a second part of the material.7. Method according to claim 1 , wherein ...
