Abstract

We report measurements and theoretical calculations of the magnetocaloric properties of low-dimensional spin-1/2 antiferromagnets close to their magnetic field-induced quantum critical points. We demonstrate that the accumulation of entropy around the quantum critical point, giving rise to a critically enhanced magnetocaloric effect ΓB, can be used for realizing a very efficient low-temperature magnetic cooling.
