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…

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…
