We report low-temperature magnetotransport in the normal state of the electron-doped superconductors, Nd 2-x Ce x CuO 4, Pr 2-x Ce x CuO 4, and La 2-x Ce x CuO 4, by suppressing the superconductivity with high magnetic fields. The normal state ρ-T curve shows an up-turn at low temperatures, which has a log T dependence with saturation at lowest temperatures. The up-turn is gradually suppressed with increasing magnetic field, resulting in negative magnetoresistance. We discuss these findings on the basis of the Kondo scattering originating from the magnetic moments of Cu 2+ ions.

AbstractThe temperature change under adiabatic stress, i.e., the elastocaloric effect, is a well-understood phenomenon and of particular interest due to its potential application in alternative ways for refrigeration. Here, we demonstrate that in the regime of low-temperatures (a few mK) real paramagnets can be magnetized when compressed adiabatically without applied magnetic field. Such adiabatic magnetization is a genuine many-body problem, stemming from the inherent dipolar mutual interactions between adjacent magnetic moments. We showcase experimental setups to carry out adiabatic magnetization and thus to access such a subtle effect. Perspectives of further investigations by controlling the mutual interactions in Bose–Einstein condensates in magnetic insulators and dipolar spin-ice systems via the adiabatic increase of temperature are also presented. Yet, we discuss the connection between the elastic Grüneisen parameter and the shift on the critical temperature of second-order phase transitions under adiabatic stress, as well as its connection with the Ehrenfest relation.

Mössbauer spectroscopic measurements have been carried out for CeSn 3 and CeSn 3.1 single crystals in the temperature range 1.5 K to 300 K under applied magnetic field, with an aim to look into the local surroundings of the Sn site and the possibility of magnetization at low temperatures. The spectra indicate a paramagnetic ground state throughout the temperature range with two different doublets associated with two sites S1 and S2. This indicates two crystallographic sites of Sn with the presence of a distortion in the cubic crystal. However, the contribution of S2 site is very small (only 3% for the CeSn 3 but slightly higher, i.e., 4.3% for the CeSn 3.1) at room temperature. Upon cooling (below 4 K), the S2 contribution disappears for the stoichiometric sample ( CeSn 3) but continues to stay for the slightly nonstoichiometric compound ( CeSn 3.1). The isomer shift reveals a Sn 2+ valence state throughout. A weak hyperfine field has been observed only at low temperatures (4.2 and 1.5 K spectra) for both the compounds, but not for the 300 K spectra. This is indicative of some magnetization, i.e., an increase in magnetic moments of Ce atoms, that is felt by the neighbor Sn atoms through RKKY interactions. However, upon cooling the samples from 4.2 K to 1.5 K, no further enhancement in magnetization is observed. The magnetic field was also applied for the CeSn 3 sample at low temperatures to check if there is any enhancement in the magnetic properties that yielded negative results, i.e., the applied field is equal to the hyperfine field, indicating no enhancement of magnetic moment.

Even though the general framework of statistical mechanics is ultimately targeted at the description of macroscopic systems, it is illustrative to apply it first to some simple systems: a harmonic oscillator, a rotor, and a spin in a magnetic field. These applications serve to illustrate how a key function associated with the Gibbs state, the so-called partition function, is calculated in practice, how the entropy function is obtained via a Legendre transformation, and how such systems behave in the limits of high and low temperatures. After discussing these simple systems, this chapter considers a first example where multiple constituents are assembled into a macroscopic system: a basic model of a paramagnetic salt. It also investigates the size of energy fluctuations and how—in the case of the paramagnet—these fluctuations scale with the number of constituents.

Compared to conventional vapor-compression refrigeration systems, magnetic refrigeration is a promising and potential alternative technology. The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is used to produce heat and cold sources through a magnetocaloric material (MCM). The material is submitted to a magnetic field with active magnetic regenerative refrigeration (AMRR) cycles. Initially, this effect was widely used for cryogenic applications to achieve very low temperatures. However, this technology must be improved to replace vapor-compression devices operating around room temperature. Therefore, over the last 30 years, a lot of studies have been done to obtain more efficient devices. Thus, the modeling is a crucial step to perform a preliminary study and optimization. In this paper, after a large introduction on MCE research, a state-of-the-art of multi-physics modeling on the AMRR cycle modeling is made. To end this paper, a suggestion of innovative and advanced modeling solutions to study magnetocaloric regenerator is described.
