Multisite Exchange-Enhanced Barocaloric Response in Mn_{3}NiN

We study the barocaloric effect (BCE) in the geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet Mn_{3}NiN across the Néel transition temperature. Experimentally, we find a larger barocaloric entropy change by a factor of 1.6 than that recently discovered in the isostructural antiperovskite Mn_{3}GaN despite s...
