Abstract
Adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration (ADR) is a promising cooling technology with high efficiency and exceptional stability in achieving ultralow temperatures, playing an indispensable role at the forefront of fundamental and applied science. However, a significant challenge for ADR is that existing magnetic refrigerants struggle to concurrently achieve low magnetic ordering temperatures (T0) and substantial magnetic entropy changes (-ΔSm) at ultralow temperatures. In this work, we propose the combination of Gd3+ and Yb3+ to effectively regulate both -ΔSm and T0 in ultralow temperatures. Notably, the -ΔSm values for Gd0.1Yb0.9F3 (1) and Gd0.3Yb0.7F3 (2) in the 0.4-1.0 K range exceed those of all previously reported magnetic refrigerants within this temperature interval, positioning them as the most efficient magnetic refrigerants for the third stage to date. Although the -ΔSm values for Gd0.5Yb0.5F3 (3) in 1-4 K are less than those of the leading magnetic refrigerant Gd(OH)F2, the -ΔSm values for Gd0.7Yb0.3F3 (4) in 1-4 K at 2 T surpass those of all magnetic refrigerants previously documented within the same temperature range, making it the superior magnetic refrigerant for the fourth stage identified thus far.

Abstract
Rare-earth (RE)-based frustrated magnets are fertile playgrounds for discovering exotic quantum phenomena and exploring adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration applications. Here, we report the synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of a family of rare-earth cyanurates RE5(C3N3O3)(OH)12 (RE = Gd-Lu) with an acentric space group P6̅2m. Magnetic susceptibility χ(T) and isothermal magnetization M(H) measurements manifest that RE5(C3N3O3)(OH)12 (RE = Gd, Dy-Yb) compounds exhibit no magnetic ordering down to 2 K, while Tb5(C3N3O3)(OH)12 shows long-range magnetic ordering around 3.6 K. Among them, magnetically frustrated spin-7/2 Gd5(C3N3O3)(OH)12 shows long-range magnetic ordering around 1.25 K and a large magnetocaloric effect with a maximum magnetic entropy change ΔSm of up to 58.1 J kg-1 K-1 at ΔH = 7 T at liquid-helium temperature regimes.

Abstract
Adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration is known to be the only cryogenic refrigeration technology that can achieve ultralow temperatures (≪1 K) at gravity-free conditions. The key indexes to evaluate the performance of magnetic refrigerants are their magnetic entropy changes (-ΔSm) and magnetic ordering temperature (T0). Although, based on the factors affecting the -ΔSm of magnetic refrigerants, one has been able to judge if a magnetic refrigerant has a large -ΔSm, how to accurately predict their T0 remains a huge challenge due to the fact that the T0 of magnetic refrigerants is related to not only magnetic exchange but also single-ion anisotropy and magnetic dipole interaction. Here, we, taking GdCO3F (1), Gd(HCOO)F2, Gd2(SO4)3·8H2O, GdF3, Gd(HCOO)3 and Gd(OH)3 as examples, demonstrate that the T0 of magnetic refrigerants with very weak magnetic interactions and small anisotropy can be accurately predicted by integrating mean-field approximation with quantum Monte Carlo simulations, providing an effective method for predicting the T0 of ultralow-temperature magnetic refrigerants. Thus, the present work lays a solid foundation for the rational design and preparation of ultralow-temperature magnetic refrigerants in the future.

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.

Abstract
To deal with the shortage and high price of helium-3 resources, adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration technology as an alternative to helium-3-based refrigeration technology has received much attention. The magnetism and ultralow-temperature magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of the EuB4O7 compound have been investigated. The results of magnetic and quasi-adiabatic demagnetization measurements suggest the absence of a magnetic order above 0.4 K for EuB4O7. The dipolar interaction between the nearest-neighbor Eu atoms has a characteristic energy of about 800 mK, which may induce a large MCE. The maximum magnetic entropy change reaches 22.8, 36.2, and 47.6 J·kg-1 K-1 at μ0H = 0-10 kOe, 0-20 kOe, and 0-50 kOe, respectively. Measurements by a quasi-adiabatic demagnetization device show that the lowest temperature achievable (289 mK) for polycrystalline EuB4O7 is lower than that (362 mK) for the commercial refrigerant Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG) single crystals. The hold time is more than 70 min below 700 mK, with an environment temperature of 2 K, proving that EuB4O7 exhibits superior cooling performance.

Abstract
Heptanuclear {GdIII7} (complex 1) and tetradecanuclear {GdIII14} (complex 2) were synthesized using the rhodamine 6G ligand HL (rhodamine 6G salicylaldehyde hydrazone) and characterized. Complex 1 has a rare disc-shaped structure, where the central Gd ion is connected to the six peripheral GdIII ions via CH3O-/μ3-OH- bridges. Complex 2 has an unexpected three-layer double sandwich structure with a rare μ6-O2- ion in the center of the cluster. Magnetic studies revealed that complex 1 exhibits a magnetic entropy change of 17.4 J kg-1 K-1 at 3 K and 5 T. On the other hand, complex 2 shows a higher magnetic entropy change of 22.3 J kg-1 K-1 at 2 K and 5 T.

Abstract
A new Gd3+-containing borate Ba2Gd(BO3)2F has been successfully grown via the high-temperature solution method using BaF2-NaF-B2O3 flux. Ba2Gd(BO3)2F crystallizing in the orthorhombic space group Pnma is with lattice parameters a = 7.571(4) Å, b = 10.424(5) Å, c = 8.581(4) Å, α = β = γ = 90°, and Z = 2. Its three-dimensional framework was constructed from interesting pinwheel-like [Gd(BO3)F]∞ layers bridged by sharing [BO3]3-, which is different from the [Gd(BO3)]∞ layer in the model structure Ba2Gd(BO3)2Cl. The magnetic measurements indicated that Ba2Gd(BO3)2F has a larger magnetocaloric effect with -ΔSm,max = 27.82 J·kg-1·K-1at 2 K and 9 T than that of Ba2Gd(BO3)2Cl under the same conditions. Moreover, thermal stability, infrared spectrum (IR), and ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectrum were carried out to characterize the title compounds. The first-principles computations also looked into the electronic band structures, densities of states, and refractive indices.

Abstract
A single crystal of Sr14.06Gd14.63(BO3)24 has been successfully grown through a high-temperature solution technique with K2O-KF-B2O3 as the flux. It crystallizes in the Pnma space group with parameters a = 22.3153(5) Å, b = 15.9087(4) Å, c = 8.7507(2) Å, and Z = 2. Sr14.06Gd14.63(BO3)24 has a three-dimensional (3D) framework built from [GdO] chains, in which the isolate [BO3]3- groups and Sr2+ ions fill in the space of the 3D framework. The magnetic measurements revealed that the title compound exhibits a large magnetocaloric effect with the magnetic entropy change of -ΔSm = 42.2 J kg-1 K-1 at 2 K for 7 T, which is higher than that of the commercial material, Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG), with -ΔSm of 38.4 J kg-1 K-1 under the same conditions. Moreover, the infrared spectrum (IR), UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectrum, and thermal stability were investigated.

Abstract
Frustrated lanthanide oxides are promising candidates for cryogen-free magnetic refrigeration due to their suppressed ordering temperatures and high magnetic moments. While much attention has been paid to the garnet and pyrochlore lattices, the magnetocaloric effect in frustrated face-centered cubic (fcc) lattices remains relatively unexplored. We previously showed that the frustrated fcc double perovskite Ba2GdSbO6 is a top-performing magnetocaloric material (per mol Gd) because of its small nearest-neighbor interaction between spins. Here we investigate different tuning parameters to maximize the magnetocaloric effect in the family of fcc lanthanide oxides, A2LnSbO6 (A = {Ba2+, Sr2+} and Ln = {Nd3+, Tb3+, Gd3+, Ho3+, Dy3+, Er3+}), including chemical pressure via the A site cation and the magnetic ground state via the lanthanide ion. Bulk magnetic measurements indicate a possible trend between magnetic short-range fluctuations and the field-temperature phase space of the magnetocaloric effect, determined by whether an ion is a Kramers or a non-Kramers ion. We report for the first time on the synthesis and magnetic characterization of the Ca2LnSbO6 series with tunable site disorder that can be used to control the deviations from Curie-Weiss behavior. Taken together, these results suggest fcc lanthanide oxides as tunable systems for magnetocaloric design.

Abstract
Searching for working refrigerant materials is the key element in the design of magnetic cooling devices. Herein, we report on the thermodynamic and magnetocaloric parameters of an X1 phase oxyorthosilicate, Gd2SiO5, by field-dependent static magnetization and specific heat measurements. An overall correlation strength of |J|S2 ≈ 3.4 K is derived via the mean-field estimate, with antiferromagnetic correlations between the ferromagnetically coupled Gd-Gd layers. The magnetic entropy change -ΔSm is quite impressive, reaches 0.40 J K-1 cm-3 (58.5 J K-1 kg-1) at T = 2.7 K, with the largest adiabatic temperature change Tad = 23.2 K for a field change of 8.9 T. At T = 20 K, the lattice entropy SL is small enough compared to the magnetic entropy Sm, Sm/SL = 21.3, which warrants its potential in 2 -20 K cryocoolers with both the Stirling and Carnot cycles. Though with relatively large exchange interactions, the layered A-type spin arrangement ultimately enhances the magnetocaloric coupling, raising the possibilities of designing magnetic refrigerants with a high ratio of cooling capacity to volume.
