TL;DR: Small changes in hydrostatic pressure are used to drive giant inverse barocaloric effects near the ferrielectric phase transition in ammonium sulphate, and these effects and strengths are found that exceed those previously observed near magnetostructural phase transitions in magnetic materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that plastic crystals of neopentylglycol (CH3)2C(CH2OH)2 display extremely large pressure-driven thermal changes near room temperature due to molecular reconfiguration, that these changes outperform those observed in any type of caloric material, and these changes are comparable with those exploited commercially in hydrofluorocarbons.

TL;DR: In this paper, solid-solid transitions of mixtures of the polyols neopentylglycol (NPG), pentaglycerine (PG) and pentaerythritol (PE) were studied.

TL;DR: These findings reveal another mechanism that can give rise to typical beta-relaxation behavior, raising some doubt about the existence of a universal explanation of this phenomenon.

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of a simple rigid pseudoglobular molecule (2-adamantanone) has been studied by means of dielectric spectroscopy and examined under the constraints imposed by the space group of the crystal structure determined by x-ray powder diffraction.
