低维材料中的几何自旋阻挫,如二维kagome或三角形反铁磁网络,可以显著增强磁熵和绝热温度随外加磁场变化的变化,即磁热效应。原则上,在某些高对称性的零维(即分子)结构中,也可以观察到具有阻挫拓扑的等价结果。在这里,我们报告的实验实现这在一个七金属钆分子。绝热退磁实验达到~200 mK,第一次亚开尔文冷却与任何分子纳米磁体,并揭示等熵(在温度场平面遵循的恒定熵路径)与丰富的结构。后者被证明是三角反铁磁网络结构的直接表现,允许在有限系统中的挫折增强磁热效应的研究。 磁热效应在自旋受抑的低维系统中得到了很好的理解,并且在某些高对称性分子结构中应该可以观察到。在这里,作者报告了用分子磁体进行亚开尔文冷却的实验观察,并探测了低温自旋行为。
Geometric spin frustration in low-dimensional materials, such as the two-dimensional kagome or triangular antiferromagnetic nets, can significantly enhance the change of the magnetic entropy and adiabatic temperature following a change in the applied magnetic field, that is, the magnetocaloric effect. In principle, an equivalent outcome should also be observable in certain high-symmetry zero-dimensional, that is, molecular, structures with frustrated topologies. Here we report experimental realization of this in a heptametallic gadolinium molecule. Adiabatic demagnetization experiments reach ~200 mK, the first sub-Kelvin cooling with any molecular nanomagnet, and reveal isentropes (the constant entropy paths followed in the temperature-field plane) with a rich structure. The latter is shown to be a direct manifestation of the trigonal antiferromagnetic net structure, allowing study of frustration-enhanced magnetocaloric effects in a finite system. The magnetocaloric effect is well understood in spin-frustrated low-dimensional systems, and should be observable in certain high-symmetry molecular structures. Here, the authors report the experimental observation of sub-Kelvin cooling with a molecular magnet, and probe the low-temperature spin behaviour.
