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…
Investigating nucleation-driven phase transitions in neopentyl molecular crystals using infrared thermography and polarised light microscopy
Frederic Rendell-Bhatti, Vinzent G. Hana, Csongor Joba +2
Sustainable solid-state refrigerants based on barocaloric materials are often limited by thermal hysteresis associated with supercooling effects. Here, we present imaging methods t…
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…
Ultrafast control of spin order by linearly polarized light in noncollinear antiferromagnetic metals
J. Kimak, M. Nerodilova, K. Carva +15
The non-thermal optical control of magnetic order offers a promising route to ultrafast, energy-efficient information technologies. Although optical manipulation of magnetism in me…
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…
