The low-lying magnetic excitations are clearly evidenced by the Schottky anomalies in the specific-heat data. The energy levels determined from the low-temperature observables agree well with the three-spin model for V15. The magnetocaloric effect of V15 is examined. The maximum entropy change of $5.31\ \text{Jkg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}$ is found for a field change of $\Delta H =(8-0.5)\ \text{T}$ at ${\sim}1.5\ \text{K}$ . In spite of the low ground-state spin of V15, a drastic entropy change of $4.12\ \text{Jkg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}$ is observed for a field change of $\Delta H = (8-0.05)\ \text{T}$ at 0.4 K, which is comparable to the entropy change of some high-spin sub-kelvin magnetic coolers at such low temperatures. Anisotropy and consequent zero-field splitting result in this characteristic of V15 and may open new possibilities in the design of ultra-low-temperature molecular coolers.}, cin = {JCNS-FRM-II / JCNS-2 / PGI-4 / PGI-6}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-FRM-II-20110218 / I:(DE-Juel1)JCNS-2-20110106 / I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-4-20110106 / I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-6-20110106}, pnm = {524 - Controlling Collective States (POF3-524) / 6212 - Quantum Condensed Matter: Magnetism, Superconductivity (POF3-621) / 6G15 - FRM II / MLZ (POF3-6G15) / 6G4 - Jülich Centre for Neutron Research (JCNS) (POF3-623)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-524 / G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6212 / G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G15 / G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6G4}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000365323000023}, doi = {10.1209/0295-5075/112/27003}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/278947}, }
