Large Magnetocaloric Effect and Adiabatic Temperature Change in the Tellurate: Gd2TeO6
We investigate the structural, magnetic, thermodynamic, and magnetocaloric properties of polycrystalline Gd2TeO6, a rare-earth tellurate unexplored for cryogenic magnetic refrigeration. Powder X-ray diffraction confirms single-phase orthorhombic symmetry (P212121), featuring two crystallographically distinct seven-coor...
