On the theory of magnetocaloric effect in cooperative paramagnets

  • 1. Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Solid-State Physics (Russian Federation)

Description

The theory developed is used as a basis for analyzing the magnetocaloric effect observed experimentally in cooperative paramagnets. Even though the degenerate ground state of such magnetic systems is strongly correlated, the final formulas describing the magnetocaloric effect are found to be very similar to those for a normal paramagnet. The order of magnitude of the effect is discussed, and theoretical results are compared with experimental data
