Description The moleculer recipes required to construct molecules with an enhanced magnetocaloric effect (MCE) that makes possible the use of molecules and molecule-based materials as cryogenic coolants, and thus as possible replacements for the rare and expensive He-3.
Exploitation Route Fundamental chemistry and physics that underpins potential use as cryocoolers.
