Research topics from publications: A Triangular Frustrated Eu(II)–Organic Framework for Sub-Kelvin Magnetic Refrigeration. Representative work: Attaining sub-Kelvin temperatures remains technologically challenging and often relies on the scarce resource 3He, unless employing adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration. Herein, the active coolant typically consists of weakly coupled paramagnetic ions, whose magnetic interaction strengths are comparable in energy to the relevant temperature regime of cooling. Such interactions depend strongly on inter-ion distances, fundamentally hindering the realization of dense coolants for sub-Kelvin refrigeration. We present a magnetically concentrated triangular coordination network, Eu0.9Ba0.1I2(pyrazine)3, featuring the large s = 7/2 moment of Eu(II). Electron paramagnetic resonance, magnetization
