The magnetic and magnetocaloric (MCE) properties were studied in a stuffed honeycomb antiferromagnet GdInO3 polycrystalline. No long-range magnetic ordering was observed with only a sharp upturn in the temperature dependent magnetization curves at TN ~ 2.1 K. The large value of frustration index value ~ 5.0 suggests short-range antiferromagnetic interactions existing between the Gd3+ moments in this frustrated magnetic system. Negligible thermal and magnetic hysteresis suggest a second-order feature of phase transition and a reversible magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in GdInO3 compound. In the magnetic field changes of 0-50 kOe and 0-70 kOe, the maximum magnetic entropy change values are 9.31 J/kg K and 17.53 J/kg K near the liquid helium temperature, with the corresponding RCP values of 106.61 and 196.38 J/kg, respectively. The relative lower MCE performance of GdInO3 polycrystalline than the other Gd-based magnetocaloric effect is understood by the high magnetic frustration in this system. Our investigation results reveal GdInO3 polycrystalline has a large reversible MCE, which not only provides another possibility of exploiting magnetocaloric refrigerants in the frustrated magnetic systems near the cryogenic temperature region, but also serves to excavate more exotic properties in the frustrated stuffed honeycomb magnetic systems.

We present combined experimental and theoretical investigations on the magnetic and magnetocaloric behavior of Nd$_2$NiMnO$_6$. The relative cooling power (RCP) which quantifies the usefulness of a magnetocaloric (MC) material is estimated to be $approx 300$ J/Kg near the ferromagnetic transition at $T_C approx 195$ K. This RCP is comparable to the best known MC materials. Additionally, the magnetic entropy change has a broad profile ($T_C - 50~{rm K} < T < T_C + 50~{rm K}$) leading to an enhancement in the working-range of temperatures for magnetocaloric based cooling. These features make Nd$_2$NiMnO$_6$ a superior magnetocaloric material compared for example, to the nonmagnetic counterpart Y$_2$NiMnO$_6$. We identify the mechanism for the enhanced RCP which can guide search for future MC materials.
We report a large entropy change (DeltaS) below 300 K, peaking near TC= 220 K, due to isothermal change of magnetic field, for Gd4Co3, with a refrigeration capacity higher than that of Gd. Notably, the isothermal magnetization is nonhysteretic - an important criterion for magnetic refrigeration without loss. DeltaS behavior is also compared with that of magnetoresistance.
Magnetoelectric effects in honeycomb antiferromagnet Co4Nb2O9 are investigated on the basis of symmetry analyses of Co ions in trigonal P-3c1 space group. For each Co ion, the possible spin dependence is classified by C3 point-group symmetry. This accounts for the observed main effect that an electric polarization rotates in the opposite direction at the twice speed relative to the rotation of the external magnetic field applied in the ab-plane. Inversion centers and twofold axes in the unit cell restrict the active spin-dependence of the electric polarization, which well explains the observed experimental results. Expected optical properties of quadrupolar excitation and various types of dichroism are also discussed.
The honeycomb antiferromagnet Co4Nb2O9 is known to exhibit an interesting magnetoelectric effect that the electric polarization rotates at the twice speed in the opposite direction relative to the rotation of the external magnetic field applied in the basal ab-plane. The spin-dependent electric dipole can be an origin of the magnetoelectric effect. It is described by the product of spin operators at different sites (type-I theory) or at the same site (type-II theory). We examine the electric polarization for the two cases on the basis of the symmetry analysis of the crystal structure of Co4Nb2O9, and conclude that the latter is the origin of the observed result. This paper also gives a general description of the field-induced electric polarization on honeycomb lattices with the C3 point group symmetry on the basis of the type-I theory.
We investigate the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), relative cooling power (RCP) and crystalline structure in Sb substituted CrTe_{1-x}Sb_{x} (0 leq x leq 0.2) alloy. The Rietveld refinement of the XRD pattern of CrTe1-xSbx showed the emerging of pure hexagonal NiAs structure with P63/mmc (194) space group with increasing Sb substitution. We detect a slight increase in the basal plane a-lattice parameter, with a much larger reduction in the c-axis. Magnetic isotherms were measured in the temperature range of 50-400K. The results revealed an increase in the maximum entropy change |S_{M}(T,H)| with Sb-substitutions in the temperature range (~285-325K). Moreover, The RCP values increased by about 33% with 20% Sb substitutions. These findings suggest that CrTe_{1-x}Sb_{x} alloys can be used in room temperature magnetic cooling at fraction of the coast of pure Gd element the porotype magnetic material for magnetic refrigeration.
