Spin and elastic contributions to isothermal entropy change

Abstract: Statistical considerations of ensembles of localized magnetic moments reveal an upper bound of the isothermal entropy change when only the magnetic degrees of freedom are considered. In this case, the maximum molar isothermal entropy change is determined by the spin multiplicity and is equal to Rln(2J þ 1), where J is the angular momentum of an individual atom. However, in materials with giant magnetocaloric effect, the isothermal field-induced entropy change goes beyond the spin-multiplicity limit due to fiel… Show more

“…This is, in general, the case, with the exception of first-order phase transitions, where the entropy change at the transition can be calculated with the help of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. 9,15 Equation (1) misleadingly suggests that the use of an external magnetic field is mandatory in order to achieve a sizeable isothermal entropy change. It is one of the major objectives of this manuscript to offer evidence that applied magnetic fields are not necessary to utilize the MCE.…”

“…When only the magnetic degrees of freedom are considered, the maximum molar isothermal entropy change is determined by the spin multiplicity and is equal to Rln(2Jþ1), where J is the angular momentum of an individual atom. 45 It is well accepted that the crystal field scheme of the Er 3þ ion (with J ¼ 15/2) is expected to have eight well defined Kramers doublets. The estimated total entropy value S(T) at T N (about 5.14 J/mol K at 8.5 K) is almost close to the Rln2 indicating the ground state well separated in energy from other excited levels.…”

“…When the external force is removed, the molecular chain spontaneously tends to the state of entropy increase due to thermal motion, and the molecular chain restores to the curl state by extension. The strain energy stored in the material decreases with the temperature under the same strain condition [ 39 , 40 ]. This is due to the loss of energy caused by the increasing relaxation of the molecules because of the degradation of the colloid when the temperature rises.…”
