Inverse magnetocaloric effect in the spin-1/2 Fisher's super-exchange antiferromagnet

Abstract

The isothermal entropy change and the adiabatic temperature change for the exactly solved spin-1/2 Fisher's super-exchange antiferromagnet are rigorously calculated in order to examine magnetocaloric properties of the model in a vicinity of the second-order phase transition. It is shown that the large inverse magnetocaloric effect occurs around the temperature interval Tc(h0)<T<Tc(h=0)T_c(h\neq0) < T < T_c(h=0) for any magnetic-field change Δh:0h\Delta h: 0 \to h. The most pronounced inverse magnetocaloric effect can be found for the magnetic-field change, which coincides with the critical field of a zero-temperature phase transition from the antiferromagnetically ordered ground state to the paramagnetic one.
