The development of magnetocaloric materials with a significantly enhanced volumetric cooling capability is highly desirable for the application of adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators in confined spatial environments. Here, the thermodynamic characteristics of a magnetically frustrated spin-7/2 Gd[SiO]O is presented, which exhibits strongly correlated spin disorder below ≈1.5 K. A quantitative model is proposed to describe the magnetization results by incorporating nearest-neighbor Heisenberg antiferromagnetic and dipolar interactions. Remarkably, the recorded magnetocaloric responses are unprecedentedly large and applicable below 1.0 K. It is proposed that the S = 7/2 spin liquids serve as versatile platforms for investigating high-performance magnetocaloric materials in the sub-kelvin regime, particularly those exhibiting a superior cooling power per unit volume.

We systematically investigate the magnetization and thermodynamic responses associated with antiferromagnetic (AFM) transitions in single crystals of the magnetic semiconductor Eu3InAs3. The linear thermal expansion measurements around the AFM transition temperatures, TN1 and TN2, indicate an expansion along the a axis and contraction along the b and c axes. The calculated ∆V/V(T) shows a continuous change at TN, indicating a second-order magnetic phase transition.

The ternary transition metal boride FeAlB is a unique ferromagnetic "MAB" phase that demonstrates a sizable magnetocaloric effect near room temperature-a feature that renders this material suitable for magnetic heat pump devices (MHP), a promising alternative to conventional vapor compression technology. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the material properties of FeAlB (magnetofunctional response, transport properties, and mechanical stability) and discuss alloy synthesis from the perspective of shaping these materials as porous active magnetic regenerators in MHPs. Salient aspects of the coupled magnetic and structural phase transitions are critically assessed to elucidate the fundamental origin of the functional response.

We report an in-depth study of the thermodynamic and magnetocaloric properties of a strongly frustrated magnet, CsFe(MoO). The underlying structure belongs to the double trillium lattice, which consists of two Fe ( = 2) sites with easy-axis and easy-plane single-ion anisotropy. Detailed Fe Mössbauer spectroscopic investigations along with ligand-field calculations support the existence of disparate ground states.

The number of patients with non-healing wounds continuously increases, and has become a prominent societal issue that imposes a heavy burden on both patients and the entire healthcare system. Although traditional dressings play an important role in wound healing, the complexity and diversity of the healing process pose serious challenges in this field. Magneto-responsive biocomposites, with their excellent biocompatibility, remote spatiotemporal controllability, and unique convenience, demonstrate enticing advantages in the field of wound dressings.

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.
