Article Description

We report the large reversible magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in the cubic pyrochlores R 2 Mn 2 O 7 ( R  = Dy, Ho, Yb) near their second-order ferromagnetic (FM) transition at T C  ≈ 39 K due to a simultaneous FM ordering of rear-earth R 3+ and transition-metal Mn 4+ localized moments. Under the magnetic field change of 1 T (7 T), the maximum magnetic entropy change −Δ S M max is 5.7 (20.1), 4.3 (18.4), 3.9 (13.9) J·kg −1 ·K −1, and the estimated magnetic refrigerant capacity RC reaches 20.0 (564), 18.4 (503.7), 13.1 (371.4) J·kg −1 for Dy 2 Mn 2 O 7, Ho 2 Mn 2 O 7, and Yb 2 Mn 2 O 7, respectively. We have discussed their magnetic properties and its correlation with MCE in terms of the intrinsic single-ion anisotropy of R 3+ ions. Our results demonstrate that R 2 Mn 2 O 7 cubic pyrochlores constitute a promising material platform for magnetic refrigeration applications in the intermediate temperature range.
