The coexistence of
field-induced blockage of the magnetization
and significant magnetocaloric effects in the low-temperature region
occurs in a mononuclear holmium(III) diethylenetriamine-

analogue is a commercial MRI contrast agent. Both properties make
it a suitable candidate for cryogenic magnetic refrigeration, thus
enlarging the variety of applications of this simple class of multifunctional
molecular nanomagnets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
