We present a mean-field analysis, using the two-sublattice model, for the thermomagnetic and magnetocaloric properties of the R2Fe17C compounds, where R=Dy, Nd, Tb, Gd, Pr, Ho, Er and C is carbon.   The dependence of magnetization, magnetic heat capacity, magnetic entropy and isothermal entropy change ∆Sm, are calculated for magnetic fields up to 5T and for temperatures up to 700 K . Direct magnetocaloric effect is present for all compounds with maximum ∆Sm between 6.13-10.95 J/K. mole for an applied field change of 5T. It is found that Pr2Fe17C compound has the highest  ∆Sm of 10.95 J/K. mole at ∆H=5T and Tc=375 K. The inverse MCE is found in ferrimagnetic compounds, e.g. Gd2Fe17C, with ∆Sm= J/K mol at critical temperature Tc=623K and ∆Sm=  J/K mol at Neel temperature TN=136 K.  The calculated Arrott plots confirmed that the magnetic phase transitions in these compounds are of second order. The mean-field model proves its suitability for calculating the properties of the compounds under study.

AbstractA magnetocaloric effect with wide tunability was observed in melt-spun amorphous Gd65Fe15-xCo5+xAl10Si5 (x = 0, 5, 10) alloys of different Fe/Co ratios. Their magnetic properties were compared with those of the previously investigated parent alloy Gd65Fe10Co10Al15. The glassy structure of the melt-spun samples was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and 57Fe Mössbauer spectrometry. Their Curie temperatures (TC) were between 155 and 195 K and increased significantly with decreasing Co content. The highest value of the magnetic entropy change ΔSM = − 6.8 J/kg K was obtained for Gd65Fe5Co15Al10Si5, when the magnetic field was increased from 0 to 5 T. Refrigerant capacity (RC) takes values close to 700 J/kg for the whole series of the alloys. The occurrence of the second-order phase transition and the conformity of the magnetic behavior with the mean field model were concluded on the basis of the analysis of the universal curves and the values of the exponent n (ΔSM ∝ Hn).

In this paper, we have exploited the mean field theory combined with the Bean-Rodbell model to justify the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in Nd0.67Ba0.33Mn0.98Fe0.02O3 sample. The simulation of some magnetic properties has been investigated. Modeling magnetization curves have been successfully achieved using this model. The second-order ferromagnetic-paramagnetic (FM-PM) phase transition of our system has been verified through the value of the parameter which controls the transition nature in the Bean-Rodbell model. Theoretical and experimental expressions, which have rated the magnetic entropy change ( − ∆ S M ) under various magnetic fields, have been derived. Theoretical ( − ∆ S M ) curves have been compared to the experimental ones.

We present a mean-field study on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in RFe10X2, where X=Mo, V, and R=Gd, Tb, Ho, Tm, Dy, Er, Nd for X=V. For X=Mo, R=Dy, Gd, and Nd. The two-sublattice model, involving the 4f (rare earth) and 3d(Fe) sublattices, is used. For both systems, magnetization, magnetic heat capacity, magnetic entropy and isothermal entropy change ∆Sm are calculated for different magnetic fields in the 0-5T range and the temperature range from 0 to 700K. Direct and inverse MCEs are shown to take place in these ferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic compounds. For a field change ∆H=5T, the maximum isothermal magnetic entropy change has been calculated for ferromagnetic NdFe10Mo2 compound to be 6.6 J/K mol at Tc=441 K. Both direct, and inverse MCEs have been found in ferrimagnetic compounds, e.g., for TmFe10V2, with maximum -∆Sm= J/K mol at Tc=521K and ∆Sm=  J/K mol at TN=127 K. Mean-field analysis is suitable for handling the systems we report on. Further study on the lattice and electronic contribution to entropy is planned.

Magnetic phase transition, magnetocaloric effect and critical parameters of Ni50-xCoxMn50-yAly (x = 5 and 10; y = 17, 18 and 19) rapidly quenched ribbons have been studied. X-ray diffraction patterns exhibit a coexistence of the L21 and 10M crystalline phases of the ribbons. Magnetization measurements show that all the samples behave as soft magnetic materials with a low coercive force less than 60 Oe. The shape of thermomagnetization curves considerably depends on Co and Al concentrations. The Curie temperature (TC) of the alloy ribbons strongly increases with increasing the Co concentration and slightly decreases with increasing the Al concentration. The Ni45Co5Mn31Al19 and Ni40Co10Mn33Al17 ribbons reveal both the positive and negative magnetocaloric effects. Under magnetic field change (ΔGH) of 13.5 kOe, the maximum magnetic entropy change (|ΔSm|max) of the Ni45Co5Mn31Al19 ribbon is about 2 and -1 J·kg−1·K−1 for negative and positive magnetocaloric effects, respectively. Basing on Arrott - Noakes and Kouvel - Fisher methods, critical parameters of the Ni45Co5Mn31Al19 ribbon were determined to be TC ≈ 290 K, β ≈ 0.58, γ ≈ 0.92 and δ ≈ 2.59. The obtained values of the critical exponents indicate that the magnetic order of the alloy ribbon is close to the mean-field model.

The magnetic phase transitions and magnetocaloric properties of Gd5Si0.4In3.6 compound have been investigated. Magnetothermal measurements performed at different conditions reveal that the sample undergoes two magnetic phase transitions. One is a second-order transition from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic state at about 197 K, the other is a first-order transition when the temperature is reduced to 75 K. The magnetocaloric effect around Curie temperature (TC) was calculated in terms of isothermal magnetic entropy change by using Maxwells equation,which remains over a quite wide temperature span of 70 K between the temperature region from160 to 240 K, and thus makes this material attractive for magnetic refrigerator applications.
