Temperature dependence of the molar magnetic disorder entropy of a single crystal of CMN under different magnetic fields. Its angular moment is J = 1/2, with the entropy S = Rln 2. The entropy decreases at a lower temperature as higher ordering emerges. The ordering appears at a higher temperature with a stronger field. The process A → B → C indicates the process of adiabatic refrigeration. From A to B, the magnetic field is increased at the initial temperature Ti. From B to C, the magnetic field is decreased. The temperature decreases to the final temperature Tf. From C to A, the temperature is increased gradually owing to the heat leakage into the demagnetization stage. (Regenerated from Ref. [58].)
