Abstract
Frustrated lanthanide oxides with dense magnetic lattice and suppressed ordering temperature have potential applications in cryogenic magnetic refrigeration. Herein, the crystal structure, magnetic properties, magnetic phase transition (MPT) together with magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of LnOF (Ln = Gd, Dy, Ho, and Er) compounds were investigated. Crystallographic study shows that these compounds crystallize in the centrosymmetric space group with an ideal triangular lattice. No long-range magnetic ordering is observed above 2 K for LnOF (Ln = Gd, Ho, and Er). However, DyOF compound undergoes an MPT from paramagnetic (PM) to antiferromagnetic (AFM) at the Néel temperature (TN ≈ 4 K). Considerable reversible MCE is observed in these triangular-lattice compounds. Under the magnetic field change (μ0ΔH) of 0–2 T, the maximum values of magnetic entropy change of them are 6.1, 9.4, 12.7, and 14.1 J/(kg·K), respectively. Interestingly, the value of ErOF with Ising-like spin is 2.3 times that of GdOF, which provides an approach for exploring magnetic refrigerants with excellent low-field cryogenic magnetocaloric effect.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Rare Earths reports studies on the 17 rare earth elements. It is a unique English-language learned journal that publishes works on various aspects of basic theory and applied science in the field of rare earths (RE). The journal accepts original high-quality original research papers and review articles with inventive content, and complete experimental data. It represents high academic standards and new progress in the RE field. Due to the advantage of abundant RE resources of China, the research on RE develops very actively, and papers on the latest progress in this field emerge every year. It is not only an important resource in which technicians publish and obtain their latest research results on RE, but also an important way of reflecting the updated progress in RE research field.
The Journal of Rare Earths covers all research and application of RE rare earths including spectroscopy, luminescence and phosphors, rare earth catalysis, magnetism and magnetic materials, advanced rare earth materials, RE chemistry & hydrometallurgy, RE metallography & pyrometallurgy, RE new materials, RE solid state physics & solid state chemistry, rare earth applications, RE analysis & test, RE geology & ore dressing, etc.
