| The isothermal entropy change and the adiabatic temperature change are rigorously calculated for the exactly solved spin-1/2 Fisher's super-exchange antiferromagnet in order to examine magnetocaloric properties of the model in a vicinity of the second-order phase transition. It is shown that the large inverse magnetocaloric effect occurs around the temperature interval Tc(h≠0)<T<Tc(h=0) for any magnetic-field change Δh: 0 → h. The most pronounced inverse magnetocaloric effect can be found for the magnetic-field change, which coincides with the critical field of a zero-temperature phase transition from the antiferromagnetically ordered ground state to the paramagnetic one. |
