Abstract
Rare-earth molybdates have drawn tremendous attention due to their magnetoelectric nature, including type-II multiferroicity and structural phase transitions linked to displacive type ferroelectricity, making them well-suited for multicaloric effect in solid-state refrigeration phenomena. This study focuses on the synthesis and crystal structure analysis, temperature and field- dependent magnetic susceptibility, and magnetocaloric properties of TbGd(MoO4)3 (TGMO) polycrystals. The magnetic field and temperature variation of magnetization and specific heat capacity were conducted to evaluate the spin contributed magnetic entropy changes (−ΔSM) and temperature change under adiabatic (ΔTad) conditions in the synthesised sample. The investigated compound exhibits no obvious long-range order with in the measured low-temperature limit. The calculated –ΔSM shows a maximum value of 13.6 Jkg−1K−1 at 3.5 K for 70 kOe. Moreover, the estimated temperature change under adiabatic conditions for TGMO was found to be 8.5 K. These characteristics, including a significant magnetocaloric effect with magnetic field and the absence of thermal and magnetic hysteresis loss, is comparable to good magnetic refrigerants near liquid helium temperatures.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials provides an important forum for the disclosure and discussion of original contributions covering the whole spectrum of topics, from basic magnetism to the technology and applications of magnetic materials. The journal encourages greater interaction between the basic and applied sub-disciplines of magnetism with comprehensive review articles, in addition to full-length contributions. In addition, other categories of contributions are welcome, including Critical Focused issues, Current Perspectives and Outreach to the General Public.
Main Categories:
Full-length articles:
Technically original research documents that report results of value to the communities that comprise the journal audience. The link between chemical, structural and microstructural properties on the one hand and magnetic properties on the other hand are encouraged.
In addition to general topics covering all areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, the full-length articles also include three sub-sections, focusing on Nanomagnetism, Spintronics and Applications.
The sub-section on Nanomagnetism contains articles on magnetic nanoparticles, nanowires, thin films, 2D materials and other nanoscale magnetic materials and their applications.
The sub-section on Spintronics contains articles on magnetoresistance, magnetoimpedance, magneto-optical phenomena, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and other topics related to spin current control and magneto-transport phenomena. The sub-section on Applications display papers that focus on applications of magnetic materials. The applications need to show a connection to magnetism.
Review articles:
Review articles organize, clarify, and summarize existing major works in the areas covered by the Journal and provide comprehensive citations to the full spectrum of relevant literature.
