Enhancement of the Magnetocaloric Effect in Geometrically Frustrated Cluster Spin Glass Systems
arXiv:2304.10449 · doi:10.1088/1361-648X/acd040
Abstract
In this work, we theoretically demonstrate that a strong enhancement of the Magnetocaloric Effect is achieved in geometrically frustrated cluster spin-glass systems just above the freezing temperature. We consider a network of clusters interacting randomly which have triangular structure composed of Ising spins interacting antiferromagnetically. The intercluster disorder problem is treated using a cluster spin glass mean-field theory, which allows exact solution of the disordered problem. The intracluster part can be solved using exact enumeration. The coupling between the inter and intracluster problem incorporates the interplay between effects coming from geometric frustration and disorder. As a result, it is shown that there is the onset of cluster spin glass phase even with very weak disorder. Remarkably, it is exactly within a range of very weak disorder and small magnetic field that is observed the strongest isothermal release of entropy.
