Anisotropic Magnetocaloric Effect and Magnetic Order in Antiferromagnetic Gd2InGe2
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated the transport, thermal and magnetic properties of antiferromagnetic (TN = 45 K) Gd2InGe2. Magnetization measurements under applied magnetic field, oriented along different crystallographic directions, were used to extract the anisotropic magnetocaloric effect. We also measured magnetization under pulsed field up to 45 T. From the analysis of the electrical transport and magnetization, conduction band electrons were weakly coupled to Gd f-electron local moments. Differential scanning calorimeter data confirmed a second order phase of the antiferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition. The anisotropic magnetocaloric effect points to a model of magnetic ordering whereby Gd local moments couple ferromagnetically and antiferromagnetically perpendicular and parallel, respectively, to the c-axis.

Recently the inverse magnetocaloric effect has been observed in different compounds. However, it is very rare for any manifestation of the effect to be seen in manganites. We have found the inverse magnetocaloric effect in the case of polycrystalline La(0.125)Ca(0.875)MnO(3). Such a phenomenon is attributed to the stabilization of the antiferromagnetic state associated with inherent magnetic in...

Geometric spin frustration in low-dimensional materials, such as the two-dimensional kagome or triangular antiferromagnetic nets, can significantly enhance the change of the magnetic entropy and adiabatic temperature following a change in the applied magnetic field, that is, the magnetocaloric effect. In principle, an equivalent outcome should also be observable in certain high-symmetry zero-di...
