Abstract:The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) was investigated in highly anisotropic single crystals of two single molecule magnets (SMMs): [LnIII(ZnIIL)2]CF3SO3, where Ln = Tb, Dy and L = tripodal hexadentate Schiff base ligand. The structure of these paramagnetic compounds consists of identically oriented linear trinuclear clusters in a trigonal system with an easy direction c∥Zn–Ln–Zn array and a hard plane ab⊥Zn–Ln–Zn array. The magnitude of MCE measured for c∥H was significantly greater than MCE for ab∥H at a wide temp… Show more
“…Correlations between magnetic entropy changes, sample alignment and applied magnetic field directions have previously been reported in materials with strong magnetic anisotropy. 56–58 Regardless of the field change applied −Δ S m decreases rapidly below 3.5 K, as would be anticipated since the emergence of long range ferromagnetic order will greatly decrease the entropy change under applied fields.…”
The magnetic properties of a series of Ln(OH)3 (where Ln = Gd-Er) coordination polymer materials have been examined to evaluate their potential as magnetocaloric materials. Dy(OH)3 was found to exhibit...
