What is Giant magnetocaloric effect in exchange-frustrated GdCrTiO5 antiferromagnet about?

We report the effect of exchange frustration on the magnetocaloric properties of GdCrTiO$_5$ compound. Due to the highly exchange-frustrated nature of magnetic interaction, in GdCrTiO$_5$, the long-range antiferromagnetic ordering occurs at much lower temperature $T_N$=0.9 K and the magnetic cooling power enhances dramatically relative to that observed in several geometrically frustrated systems. Below 5 K, isothermal magnetic entropy change (-$\Delta S_{\rm m}$) is found to be 36 J kg$^{-1}$ K$^{-1}$, for a field change ($\Delta H$) of 7 T. Further, -$\Delta S_{\rm m}$ does not decrease from its maximum value with decreasing in $T$ down to very low temperatures and is reversible in nature. The adiabatic temperature change, $\Delta T_{\rm ad}$, is 15 K for $\Delta H$=7 T. These magnetocaloric parameters are significantly larger than that reported for several potential magnetic refrigerants, even for small and moderate field changes. The present study not only suggests that GdCrTiO$_5$ could be considered as a potential magnetic refrigerant at cryogenic temperatures but also promotes further studies on the role of exchange frustration on magnetocaloric effect. In contrast, only the
