High-efficiency magnetic refrigeration using holmium

Magnetic refrigeration offers a promising alternative to gas cycle cooling; however, it is typically hampered by the need for large magnetic fields. Here, the authors demonstrate that holmium can exhibit a large magnetic caloric effect while requiring only small magnetic fields.
