[Gd (L) (H O) ](Tf N) was obtained from reaction of Gd O with 1-carboxymethyl-3-ethylimidazolium chloride (LHCl). The material was found to be an ionic liquid that freezes to glassy state on cooling to -30 °C. Variable-temperature magnetic studies reveal the presence of weak magnetic intramolecular interactions in the glass. Isothermal variable-field magnetization demonstrates a magnetocaloric effect (MCE), which is the first finding of such an effect in a molecular glass. This MCE is explainable by an uncoupled representation, with a magnetic entropy change of -11.36 J K kg at 1.8 K for a 0-7 T magnetic field change, and with a refrigerant capacity of 125.9 J kg , in the 1.8-50 K interval.

Ferroic materials on the verge of forming ferroic glasses exhibit heightened functionality that is often attributed to competing long- and short-range correlations. However, the physics underlying these enhancements is not well understood. The NiCoMnIn Heusler alloy is on the edge of forming both spin and strain glasses and exhibits magnetic field-induced shape memory and large magnetocaloric effects, making it a candidate for multicaloric cooling applications.

Amorphous alloys, also known as metallic glasses, exhibit many advanced mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. Owing to the nonequilibrium nature, their energy states can vary over a wide range. However, the energy relaxation kinetics are very complex and composed of various types that are coupled with each other.

Metal-hydrogen systems have attracted intense interest for diverse energy-related applications. However, metals usually reduce their ductility after hydrogenation. Here, we show that hydrogen can take the form of nano-sized ordered hydrides (NOH) homogeneously dispersed in a stable glassy shell, leading to remarkable enhancement in both strength and ductility.

This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the structural and magnetic properties of LaSrMnCoO (LS1, LS2 and LS3) compounds synthesized the sol-gel method at different gelation temperatures through X-ray diffraction and different magnetic measurement techniques. The Rietveld refinement demonstrated that all samples exhibit a rhombohedral perovskite structure with the 3̄ space group. Their magnetic behavior, characterized through magnetization measurements, hysteresis loops, and Arrot plots, demonstrates a ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition with notable soft ferromagnetic characteristics.

Novel rare-earth silicide, TbCoSicompound, crystallizes in LuCoGastructure, a distorted substitution variant of thestructure. The compound exhibits a complex magnetic state, with a ferromagnetic transition at 58 K, followed by successive antiferromagnetic transitions at 24 K and 8 K, respectively. Isothermal and magnetic hysteresis studies indicate the prominence of competing antiferro and ferromagnetic interactions in the compound.
