Excellent magnetocaloric effect exhibited in the dense inorganic framework material Gd(OH)CO3

Abstract

The excellent magnetocaloric effect of a dense inorganic framework, orthorhombic Gd(OH)CO3, is evaluated by isothermal magnetization and heat capacity measurements. The large -ΔSm, both in gravimetric and volumetric units, place it as a great candidate for cryogenic magnetic cooler.
