Adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration (ADR) has attracted considerable attention as an effective approach to reach ultra-low temperatures required for fundamental physics and quantum technologies. Here we directly characterize the cryogenic magnetocaloric performance of the rare-earth-based double-perovskite oxide Gd2CuTiO6 (GCTO) through quasi-adiabatic demagnetization measurements. Magnetization measurements show no long-range magnetic transition above 1.8 K and indicate dominant antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions, consistent with an AFM ordering temperature of TN≈1.15 K reported previously. Notably, the isothermal magnetization M(H) at 1.8 K deviates from an ideal single-ion Brillouin response and is better described by a molecular-field correction for the Gd sublattice, suggesting correlated paramagnetism persisting above TN. In contrast to previous studies that inferred cooling performance from thermodynamic estimates, we directly validate the achievable sub-Kelvin cooling in GCTO through quasi-adiabatic measurements. In the quasi-ADR process starting from T0∼2 K, demagnetization fields of 4, 6, and 9 T yield minimum temperatures of Tmin=761.5, 452.4, and 289.2 mK, respectively, well below TN. After complete removal of the magnetic field, the sample temperature remains highly stable for at least several tens of minutes, demonstrating a long hold time under quasi-adiabatic conditions. Moreover, the T(H) curves reveal a characteristic field scale around Hc∼1 T, implying a field-induced modification of the low-temperature magnetic-entropy landscape that is relevant to the cooling behavior during demagnetization. These results highlight GCTO as a promising magnetic refrigerant for sub-Kelvin ADR applications and underscore the role of correlated magnetism in optimizing cryogenic magnetocaloric performance.
