Insight into the molecular dynamics of barocaloric molecular crystals using quasi-elastic neutron scattering
Frederic Rendell-Bhatti, David Boldrin, Markus Appel +1
Barocaloric (BC) molecular crystals exhibit order-disorder phase transitions that o9er a promising basis for solid-state heating and cooling. However, rational design of these next…
Disentangling magnetic and optical contributions in ultrafast dynamics of antiperovskite non-collinear antiferromagnets
J. Kimak, Tomas Ostatnicky, M. Nerodilova +14
Non-collinear antiferromagnets are a class of spin-polarized antiferromagnets in which chiral spin textures give rise to Berry-curvature-driven phenomena, such as the anomalous Hal…
Enhanced reversible barocaloric effect at low pressure in neopentyl plastic crystal solid solutions
Frederic Rendell-Bhatti, Melony Dilshad, Celine Beck +9
The discovery of colossal barocaloric effects in neopentyl glycol (NPG) makes plastic crystals promising candidates for solid-state refrigerants with lower environmental impact tha…
Confinement in metal-organic frameworks as a route to harnessing liquid barocalorics in the solid-state
Ming Zeng, Frederic Rendell-Bhatti, Eamonn T. Connolly +5
Barocaloric (BC) effects at liquid-vapor transitions in hydrofluorocarbons drive most commercial technologies used for heating and cooling in the heating, ventilation and air-condi…
Direct observation of thermal hysteresis in the molecular dynamics of barocaloric neopentyl glycol
Frederic Rendell-Bhatti, Markus Appel, Connor S. Inglis +6
Barocalorics (BCs) are emerging as promising alternatives to vapour-phase refrigerants, which are problematic as they exacerbate climate change when they inevitably leak into the a…
