Hydrogen-Bond Density Drives the Order-Disorder Phase Transition from Orientational to Vibrational in Polyalcohol Plastic Crystals
Ares Sanuy, Carlos Escorihuela-Sayalero, Pol Lloveras +5
Neopentane-derived plastic crystals undergo order-disorder phase transitions accompanied by exceptionally large entropy changes, making them attractive solid-state materials for th…
Fluctuation-Controlled Asymmetric Kinetics in Metal-Insulator Transitions
Tapas Bar, David Pesquera, Timm Swoboda +5
We report asymmetric kinetics in thermally driven metal-insulator transitions (MITs) in 1T-TaS. Using combined transport, calorimetric, and Raman measurements, we show that the…
Domain-induced control of latent heat in freestanding BaTiO membranes
Tapas Bar, David Pesquera, Arnau Villalobos-Martin +11
Thin ferroelectric BaTiO films often exhibit continuous transitions instead of the first-order behavior of bulk crystals, a discrepancy usually attributed to epitaxial strain o…
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…
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…
Molecular origins of colossal barocaloric effects in plastic crystals
Ares Sanuy, Carlos Escorihuela-Sayalero, Pol Lloveras +3
In recent years, orientationally disordered crystals, or plastic crystals, have transformed the field of solid-state cooling due to the significant latent heat and entropy changes…
Prediction and understanding of barocaloric effects in orientationally disordered materials from molecular dynamics simulations
Carlos Escorihuela-Sayalero, Luis Carlos Pardo, Michela Romanini +5
Due to its high energy efficiency and environmental friendliness, solid-state cooling based on the barocaloric (BC) effect represents a promising alternative to traditional refrige…
Colossal reversible barocaloric effects in a plastic crystal mediated by lattice vibrations and ion diffusion
Ming Zeng, Carlos Escorihuela-Sayalero, Tamio Ikeshoji +8
Solid-state methods for cooling and heating promise a more sustainable alternative to current compression cycles of greenhouse gases and inefficient fuel-burning heaters. Barocalor…
Asymmetric electrocaloric effects in PbSc0.5Ta0.5O3 on field application and removal
E. Stern-Taulats, P. Lloveras, M. Barrio +6
Electrically driven thermal changes in PbSc0.5Ta0.5O3 bulk ceramics are investigated using temperature and electric-field dependent differential scanning calorimetry and infrared t…
Colossal barocaloric effects near room temperature in plastic crystals of neopentylglycol
Pol Lloveras, Araceli Aznar, María Barrio +9
There is currently great interest in replacing the harmful volatile hydrofluorocarbon fluids used in refrigeration and air-conditioning with solid materials that display magnetocal…
Multi-site exchange enhanced barocaloric response in MnNiN
David Boldrin, Eduardo Mendive-Tapia, Jan Zemen +9
We have studied the barocaloric effect (BCE) in the geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet MnNiN across the Néel transition temperature. Experimentally we find a larger bar…
The emergence of giant multicaloric phenomena near room temperature
Tapas Samanta, Pol Lloveras, Ahmad Us Saleheen +9
Caloric responses (temperature changes) can be induced in solid-state materials by applying external stimuli such as stress, pressure, and electric and magnetic fields. The magneti…
Barocaloric and Magnetocaloric Effects in Fe49Rh51
Enric Stern-Taulats, Antoni Planes, Pol Lloveras +6
We report on calorimetry under applied hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field at the antiferromagnetic (AFM)-ferromagnetic (FM) transition of FeRh. Results demonstra…
