Abstract
Vopson first published the multicaloric effect in multiferroics in 2012. However, a closer examination of the multicaloric effect and its derivation leads to a contradiction, in which the predicted changes in one of the order phase at a constant applied field are due to the excitation by the same field. This apparent paradox has triggered the publication of Rebuttal of The multicaloric effect in multiferroic materials by Starkov et al. This article is the response to their rebuttal.
