Enhanced magnetocaloric effect in frustrated magnetic molecules with icosahedral symmetry

Enhanced magnetocaloric effect in frustrated magnetic molecules with icosahedral symmetry

We investigate the magnetocaloric properties of certain antiferromagnetic spin systems that have already been or very likely can be synthesized as magnetic molecules. It turns out that the special geometric frustration which is present in antiferromagnets that consist of corner-sharing triangles leads to an enhanced magnetocaloric effect with high cooling …
