Abstract

The development of magnetocaloric materials with a significantly enhanced volumetric cooling capability is highly desirable for the application of adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators in confined spatial environments. Here, the thermodynamic characteristics of a magnetically frustrated spin‐7/2 Gd9.33[SiO4]6O2 is presented, which exhibits strongly correlated spin disorder below ≈1.5 K. A quantitative model is proposed to describe the magnetization results by incorporating nearest‐neighbor Heisenberg antiferromagnetic and dipolar interactions. Remarkably, the recorded magnetocaloric responses are unprecedentedly large and applicable below 1.0 K. It is proposed that the S = 7/2 spin liquids serve as versatile platforms for investigating high‐performance magnetocaloric materials in the sub‐kelvin regime, particularly those exhibiting a superior cooling power per unit volume.

1. Introduction

Magnetic cooling, using adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators (ADRs) with an underlying magnetocaloric effect that describes the temperature change of a magnetic material subjected to field variations, presents a promising alternative to the prevailing cryogenic refrigeration techniques, such as the 3He sorption coolers and 3He‐4He dilution fridge.[ 1 ] Besides alleviating concerns about the helium scarcity, ADRs offer notable advantages including enhanced reliability, compactness, simplicity, and more precise and stable temperature control capabilities, thus serving as attractive platforms for liquefying gases, cooling in space missions as well as the cutting‐edge quantum computing, even in cold atom experiments and realizing low‐temperature superfluid phases.[ 2 ]

In an ADR cycle, the cooling power P is calculated as the product of the working frequency f and the heat absorption capacity Q, P = f·Q.[ 2c ] Lifting the operating f can be achieved by minimizing the thermal resistances between the refrigerant and the heat sink/cold load, while increasing the factor Q is primarily determined by the working materials. Therefore, beyond the design of ADR architectures, the key stage of development should be an investigation of refrigerants that exhibit large magnetocaloric responses. The high‐performance magnetocaloric materials possess thermodynamic characteristics of: i) low lattice and electronic heat capacity to reduce the internal heat load; ii) low ordering temperature, which determines the minimum temperature achieved; iii) large magnetic moments; and iv) efficient thermal conductivity.[ 2 , 3 ] The spin‐only Gd3+ compounds, with large J = S = 7/2 and g J = 2, then become rather appealing, as in the case of the benchmark refrigerant Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG), and the alternative dipolar antiferromagnet LiGdF4.[ 2 , 3 , 4 ] Many other potential working materials, including the GdPO4,[ 5 ] NaGdS2,[ 6 ] Gd2SiO5,[ 7 ] Sr2GdSbO6,[ 8 ] Gd(HCOO)3,[ 9 ] Gd(OH)CO3,[ 10 ] GdF3 [ 11 ] and Gd(OH)F2,[ 12 ] as well as the molecular {Gd12Na6} quadruple‐wheel are identified.[ 13 ]

In most cases, the volume of refrigerant dominates the magnet system and the associated shielding, which must be minimized during space missions, thereby posing a challenge in identifying magnetocaloric materials with a large volumetric cooling capability.[ 2d ] Generally, a higher magnetic ion density enables a greater cooling power density while also produces stronger interactions and consequently a higher ordering temperature. This is verified by the fact that only a few dense gadolinium compounds order in the deep sub‐kelvin regime, and persisting a pronounced volumetric magnetocaloric response down to the sub‐kelvin regime is hard to realize.[ 5 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 14 ]

The magnetic frustration and the emergence of a more certain collective paramagnet seem to offer a promising way out of this contradiction, wherein large degeneracy of the system ground state arises with suppressed long‐range ordering and enhanced ground state entropies.[ 15 ] By balancing the exchange interaction strength over short‐range correlations, a 90% utilization of entropy storage capacity per mole Gd3+ ion is observed in frustrated fcc Ba2GdSbO6 and Sr2GdSbO6.[ 8 ] The transition from the disordered spin liquid to the ordered up‐up‐down phases generates an attractive low‐field magnetic entropy change (−12 J kg−1 K−1) in the magnetically frustrated trillium lattice Na[Mn(HCOO)3].[ 16 ] Furthermore, the unconventionally quantum critical point in the dipolar spin liquid KBaGd(BO3)2 permits an efficient magnetic cooling to well below the ordering temperature, which is identified as a Berezinskii‐Kosterlitz‐Thouless phase with emergent U(1) symmetry.[ 17 ]

However, it remains unanswered whether this strongly correlated spin disorder can contribute to the design of ADR materials with a substantial cooling capacity per unit volume. It is within this context that we present the magnetocaloric parameters of the oxyapatite Gd9.33[SiO4]6O2 (abbreviated to GSO henceforth), which exhibits correlated spin disorder from ≈1.5 K to at least 50 mK. Despite having a highly dense magnetic Gd3+ ion concentration (1.78 × 1022 cm−3), an exceptionally large magnetocaloric response is observed down to the sub‐kelvin regime. Our results indicate that the magnetic frustration within the spin liquid phase can enhance the volumetric magnetocaloric responses, allowing for possibilities to explore working magnetic refrigerants in systems with strongly correlated disorder, especially those featuring large S = 7/2 spins.

2. Results and Discussion

2.1. Crystallographic Structure

Polycrystalline GSO as well as its non‐magnetic analogue La9.33[SiO4]6O2 (La9.33) were synthesized by traditional solid‐state reaction. Powder X‐ray diffraction confirmed the space group P63/m for the two compounds without any mixed phases of polymorphic disilicates or oxyorthosilicates (Figure S1, Supporting Information).

The GSO can be described as a cation deficient oxyapatitic structure, as determined by Smolin et al in 1969.[ 18 ] In each unit cell, 2/3 cation holes are statistically distributed on the (4f) lattice sites (Gd0.83), which are surrounded by 9 oxygen atoms. All the 9 oxygens are silicon bonded (Figure  1a), and the shortest Gd0.83−O bond is directed closely along [001] directions, to be of 2.305(9) Å with a Gd0.83−O−Gd0.83 angle of 92.2(4)°. The longer Gd0.83−O distance of 2.397(9) Å offers a larger Gd0.83−O−Gd0.83 angle, to be of 95.2(4)°, forming one‐dimensional chains with randomly distributed spins (Figure 1c).

Figure 1.

The 3 oxygen sites bonded to Gd0.83−(4f) and silicon are only shown in [SiO4] units for clarity. Blue balls indicate the special oxygen O4 located in channels at (0, 0, ¼) and (0, 0, ¾) along the 63‐axis, while other oxygen sites are shown in magenta colour.

Figure 1b shows the 7 oxygen atoms coordinated Gd1.00(6h) lattice site with an average Gd1.00−O distance of 2.320 Å. The “free” oxygen features the special position (0, 0, ¼) and (0, 0, ¾) along the 63‐axis with an extremely short Gd1.00−O bond of 2.234(8) Å, forming stacked Gd1.00−Gd1.00 triangles. It should be noted that the shortest Gd1.00−Gd0.83 distance is 3.990(2) Å, marginally larger than the interchain distances of Gd0.83−(4f) sites, and comparable to the inter/intra bonds of Gd1.00−Gd1.00 triangles, which may bring three‐dimensional motif of correlation networks.

2.2. Magnetizations and Magnetic Modelling

Low‐field magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measured down to 400 mK are shown in Figure  2 and Figure S2 (Supporting Information), without any hint of long‐range ordering nor field‐induced phase transitions but correlated interactions below ≈9 K.

Figure 2.

Figure 2

a) Constant field magnetic susceptibility χ down to 0.4 K of GSO in a 10 mT measuring field. Inset: Curie‐Weiss fit to the inverse magnetic susceptibility χ −1 in the full temperature range to 300 K. b) Field‐dependent isothermal magnetization M(H) data reaching nearly 100% of the expected g J SµB = 7 µB per Gd3+ ion polarized under H = 7 T. The corresponding mean‐field simulations with an isotropic interaction strength Jnn = 0.16 K, Nnn = 2, are shown as dotted lines. The solid line corresponds to the Brillouin‐like free spins B J(x) at T = 1.3 K.

Data in the full temperature regime were modelled by Curie‐Weiss fits in the form χ = C/(TΘ CW) + χ 0 (χ 0 denotes the temperature‐independent contribution and accounts for a magnitude of 10−5 emu mol−1 Oe−1), giving an antiferromagnetic Θ CW = −1.46 K with local moments of 7.73 µB. The yielded magnetic moments are consistent with spin‐only Gd3+, μeff=gJS(S+1) = 7.94 µB, where the powder average g‐factor g J = 2.

Although a magnetic field of H = 7 T was able to polarize Gd3+ moments up to the expected 7 µB, the divergence from the Brillouin‐like free spins is obvious, especially under small H values (Figure 2b). The suppressed M(H) curve is consistent with the negative Θ CW exchange parameter, indicating an effective coupling constant of Jeff = 2.2 K if taking the number of nearest‐neighbour N nn = 2. We then adopt a nearest‐neighbour Heisenberg model to characterize the bulk magnetic behaviour, by writing the spin Hamiltonian

H=J1<i,j>Si·Sj+Hdip (1)

of which J 1 represents the Heisenberg exchange interactions between the nearest neighbour spin pairs, and Hdip denotes the magnetic dipolar interactions.[ 7 , 16 , 19 ] Although the magnetic anisotropy is considered important in some Gd3+ clusters, we exclude the single‐ion anisotropy term for the eightfold degenerate spin multiplet of Gd3+ (L = 0, S = J = 7/2) here, following a similar approach employed in studies on garnet GGG and tripod kagome magnet Mg2Gd3Sb3O14.[ 20 ] The relevant dipolar energy scale is D dip = 0.65 K, using the crystallographic Gd3+…Gd3+ separation in triangle Gd1.00−(6h) chain, accounts for no more than 29% of the antiferromagnetic couplings.

By considering the Heisenberg exchange interaction J nn as the governing parameter, which can be determined by incorporating an internal field H i,

HiBJ[gJJμBμ0(Hext+Hi)kBT] (2)

where H ext represents the applied field, k B denotes the Boltzmann constant, a fairly well description of the M(H) dependences is obtained, as shown in Figure 2b. The corresponding exchange field bounded moments are related to the degree of magnetic ordering, giving an isotropic antiferromagnetic interaction energy of J nn S 2 = 1.96 K, which accurately captures the Curie‐Weiss fit.

2.3. Specific Heat and Entropy

Specific heat measurements, C p, were collected down to 50 mK under zero‐field conditions and varied applied fields up to 7 T (Figure  3a). The magnetic portion, C mag, was determined by subtracting the non‐magnetic analogue La9.33 as the lattice phonon contribution part (CL ) that approaches zero below 2 K. By employing a single Debye model to fit the data, we obtained Θ D = 374(5) K, as depicted in Figure S3 (Supporting Information). No sharp anomaly but a broad feature at around 0.5 K is observed, precluding the onset of any long‐range order, which is in consistent with the bulk magnetic susceptibility data.[ 15a ]

Figure 3.

a) Specific heat C p of GSO measured down to 50 mK under varying constant magnetic fields, and the non‐magnetic analogue La9.33 with an extrapolation to 0.5 K using the polynomial AT 3+BT 5 term. Inset: The low‐temperature portion of the zero field C mag(T) fitted to a Tγ power law. b) Comparative magnetic entropy of experimental data and the mean‐field model. The resulting magnetic entropy S mag approaches 95% of NRln8 (N = 9.33) under zero field, and a corresponding 36% NRln8 at the peak centred around T = 0.5 K. c) Magnetic entropy change ΔS mag as a function of magnetic field and temperature determined from heat capacity (closed mark) and the isothermal magnetizations (open marks), and d) its comparison to the widely accepted ADR materials, the LGF and GGG under fields of H = 6 T at given temperature T = 2 K. e) Ideal adiabatic demagnetization and magnetization results under varied applied fields, starting point (3.0, 5.8) at T i = 5.8 K and 1 T and reducing the field to 0 T resulting in a typical cooling to T f = 3.0 K.

The absence of a Néel transition gives rise to an empirical frustration parameter, f = |Θ CW|/50 mK ≈29, indicating significant frustration. It is noteworthy that the presence of a relatively large dipolar energy scale (D dip = 0.65 K) breaks the rotational invariance and lifts the frustration, and circumvents the Mermin‐Wagner theorem.[ 20a ]

The low‐temperature portion of the 0 T magnetic heat capacity C mag was fitted to a power law C mag(T)≈Tγ , gives a γ = 1.90(16), which does not follow the ∼ T 3 dependence that is usually observed in conventional ungapped antiferromagnetic magnon excitations, nor those with an anisotropy energy gap, C mag(T)≈exp(‐ΔE/T).[ 21 ] Instead, the parameterized behaviour suggests the existence of unusual low‐energy excitations, similar to those with an apparent persistence of spin dynamics down to very low temperatures, such as the pyrochlore Gd2M2O7 (M = Ti, Sn),[ 21 , 22 ] the dipolar spin liquid KBaGd(BO3)2,[ 17 , 23 ] and the two‐dimensional Dirac spin liquid NaYbO2.[ 24 ]

Integrating the C mag/T up to 30 K gives a magnetic entropy S mag reaching 95% of NRln8, where N = 9.33 and R denotes the gas constant (Figure 3b). It should be noted that only 36% of the full entropy is released at T = 0.5 K, which contrasts with the classical Gd‐based antiferromagnets but resembles those commonly observed in triangular lattice of large spins, further arguing the differences from conventional antiferromagnetic spin waves.[ 23a ] The application of magnetic field induces an overall upward shift in the broad hump of specific heat C p, accompanied by a shift of entropy to higher temperatures, which can be attributed to the Schottky anomaly resulting from Zeeman splitting of the J = 7/2 ground multiplet.[ 23 , 25 ]

We here used the incorporated J nn parameter to capture essential features of the entropy curve, which provides a good quantitative description of the data taken under large fields and intermediate temperature regime (Figure 3b). The discrepancies between the model curve and the experimental results were adopted to modify the S magT diagram, without disturbing the measured data at the lowest and the highest temperature.[ 3b ]

2.4. Magnetocaloric Responses

The magnetocaloric effect can be related to the magnetizations via the thermodynamic Maxwell

ΔSmag(H,T)=0HM(H,T)TdH (3)

or indirectly calculated from the heat capacity data.[ 1 ] Figure 3c depicts the so‐obtained two sets of data, which agrees very well with each other. The determined isothermal magnetic entropy changes, −ΔS mag, are asymmetric, of which the extrema shift to higher temperatures with increased fields. The scaling analysis of the entropy curves above T = 2 K exhibits characteristics reminiscent of a second‐order transition, as illustrated in Figure S5 (Supporting Information). The maximum −ΔS mag is 0.43 J cm−3 K−1 (66.6 J kg−1 K−1) at T = 2 K and H = 7 T, ≈85% of the maximum entropy storage capacity (9.33Rln8). If compared to the most two popular working magnetic refrigerants, GGG (Gd3Ga5O12) and LGF (LiGdF4), the GSO precedes in the full working temperature window both under high and low applied fields (Figure 3d and Figure  4a).[ 3 , 4 , 14 ]

Full entropy of the ground state is used for MAS, FAA, and CPA. Data extracted from Ref.[4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 27] b) Parameters of ordering temperature and magnetic ion density for some common ADR materials. c) Thermal conductivity of GSO and GSO/Ag composites, along with a power‐law αTn fit. d) The heat absorption capability Q of various ADR materials, under H i/T i = 3.

We further extend the comparisons to a range of potential ADR materials applicable in the sub‐kelvin regime, wherein GSO exhibits superior performance compared to most magnetic refrigerants, as illustrated in Figure 4a; Figure S4a (Supporting Information). More precisely, while GSO's magnetocaloric performance is only surpassed by the recently reported Gd(OH)F2 in terms of magnetic entropy change values, it boasts a lower terminal working temperature T f and an overall larger adiabatic temperature change T ad.[ 12 ] Further estimating the merit of relative cooling power, RCP, calculated as the product of the maximum of −ΔS mag and its corresponding full width at half maximum, gives a fairly large value of 4.2 J cm−3 (644.3 J kg−1).

Figure 3e and Figure S4b (Supporting Information) depicts the temperature changes, T ad, associated with the adiabatic demagnetizations and magnetizations. Point (3.0, 5.8) denotes a T ad = 2.8 K, if the GSO is at T = 5.8 K and magnetized in a field of 1 T, reducing the field to zero makes the temperature falls to T = 3.0. It is worth noting that the interpretation of adiabatic temperature changes becomes more intricate in practical devices, given the inherent challenge of achieving complete thermal insulation in refrigerant suspension systems. Further investigation into directly measuring T ad would be intriguing, as exemplified by studies on molecular magnetic coolants [Gd7(OH)6(thmeH2)5(thmeH)(tpa)6(MeCN)2](NO3)2 and [{Gd(OAc)3(H2O)2}2]·4H2O, as well as on EuGd2O4.[ 26 ]

Figure 4b depicts the parameters of the ordering temperature T O and the magnetic ion density N for some common ADR materials. In our cases, the GSO possesses almost the largest N but a relatively low T O (data here taken as the quotient C p/T), benefiting from the magnetically frustrated configurations within the spin liquid regime.

The heat absorption capability Q(Tf ) in an ideal Carnot cycle can be estimated as

Q(Tf)=Q˙(Tf)·dT (4)

where Q˙(Tf)=Tf·dS/dt represents the heat flux into the refrigerant.[ 2b–d ] The upper limit of Q(Tf ) is achieved at the point where the magnetic entropy change is the highest, and corresponds to the longest hold time. The GSO shows a salient volumetric Q(Tf ) as compared to GGG and LGF, as well as the widely used paramagnetic salts for a starting field and temperature of H i/T i = 3 (Figure 4d), which renders the possible design of a more compacted ADR apparatus.[ 2 , 4 ] Additionally, the GSO exhibits a moderate contribution from lattice entropy, thereby enabling the attainment of a specific base temperature with a possible low ramping field.

If further considering the non‐thermodynamic properties, the GSO also excels in terms of availability and manufacturability, as well as in chemical and physical robustness. Challenges may arise in achieving optimal thermal conductivity performance, which can be effectively addressed by incorporating composites comprising highly conductive additives such as gold, silver, copper, or carbon nanotubes.[ 2c,d ] As illustrated in Figure 4c, the GSO shows a thermal conductivity of the magnitude of 10−2 W m−1 K−1 in the temperature range below 4 K, akin to the paramagnetic salt Gd2(SO4)3·8H2O,[ 28 ] while incorporating the Ag powders (50 wt%) increased this value to 10−1 W m−1 K−1. An empirical fit with the expression κ = αTn gives a n value approaches 1, indicating strong scattering within the samples. Significantly enhanced thermal conductivity can be anticipated in single crystal forms, as evidenced by a series of rare earth oxides studies.[ 29 ] Therefore, we conclude that GSO is a viable option for magnetic cooling in sub‐kelvin temperature, as well as the initial cooling stage to milli‐kelvin temperatures due to its capacity to cool down to the range of paramagnetic salts.

3. Conclusion

We have determined the magnetocaloric characteristics of the S = 7/2 spin liquid GSO through heat capacity and magnetization measurements, scaling analysis, as well as modelling of the internal exchange and dipolar interactions. The magnetically frustrated GSO exhibits an exceptional magnetocaloric effect down to the sub‐Kelvin regime, with a maximum isothermal magnetic entropy change of −ΔS mag = 0.43 J cm−3 K−1 (66.6 J kg−1 K−1) at T = 2 K and H = 7 T, along with a corresponding maximum adiabatic temperature change T ad = 23.8 K. Our results demonstrate that the strongly correlated spin disorder can be used to achieve an enhanced volumetric magnetocaloric response, even in systems consisting of dense large S = 7/2 spins, thereby open a promising platform for exploring superior working agents for ADR applications below 1 K.

4. Experimental Section

Materials and Synthetic Procedures

Polycrystalline samples of ≈4 g were prepared using the traditional solid‐state method according to J. Felsche's protocol.[ 30 ] Stoichiometric amounts of La2O3 (5N, Adamas‐beta, pre‐heated at 1173 K overnight), Gd2O3 (5N, Adamas‐beta, pre‐heated at 1173 K overnight), and SiO2 (3N, Energy Chemical, pre‐heated at 1173 K for 30 h) were thoroughly mixed in a mortar, and compacted into a pellet with a diameter of φ‐18 mm under a pressure of 15 Mpa for 30 min. Subsequently, the mixture was loaded into alumina crucibles with lid and annealed at 1573 K in a muffle furnace for 24 h under a flowing air atmosphere. After cooling down to room temperature, the samples were subjected to a repeated process of crush‐pellet‐anneal at 1573 K for 24 h twice until single‐phase samples were obtained.

Magnetic and Calorimetric Measurements

The dc magnetic susceptibility and magnetization were measured as a function of the applied field (0 to 7 T) and temperature (0.4 to 300 K) using a Quantum Design SQUID magnetometer (MPMS‐III) equipped with a 3He‐refrigerator insert. Specific heat measurements were conducted on a Quantum Design PPMS (PPMS‐9) at various applied fields of 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 T down to temperatures as low as 50 mK using a 3He−4He dilution refrigerator. The thermal conductivity was measured using a P670 Thermal Transport System (TTO, Quantum Design) within the temperature range of 2–25 K. Polycrystalline samples with particle sizes smaller than 100 µm were compressed into cylindrical shapes (φ‐4 mm × 10 mm) under a pressure of 30 MPa. Silver powders used were finely powdered to achieve particle sizes below 5 µm. The final density was estimated to exceed 80% of the solid density.
