The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of the Tm2Fe17-xMnx (x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 1.5) and Tm2Fe16, Tm2Fe17, Tm2Fe18, Tm2Fe19 compounds has been investigated by means of magnetic measurements. The MCE exhibits two peaks near the temperatures of ferromagnetic ordering ΘT and TN for Tm2Fe17, Tm2Fe18, Tm2Fe19 compositions or one peak near TC for the Tm2Fe16 and Tm2Fe17-xMnx (x ≥ 0.2) ferromagnets. The peak entropy change -ΔSM varies non-monotonically in the systems, with the maximal values-3.25 J/kg K at T = 310 for Tm2Fe16.8Mn0.2 and-3.5 J/kg K at T = 290 K for Tm2Fe17 in a field of 5 T. On the contrary, the relative cooling power decreases monotonically with decrease of Fe content because of contraction of the -ΔSM peaks.

We investigated the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Gd100-xCox ( x = 40 to 56) thin films fabricated by the sputtering technique. Under an applied field change Δ H = 20 kOe , the magnetic entropy change ( Δ S m ) decreases from 2.64 Jkg−1K−1 for x = 44 to about 1.27 Jkg−1K−1 for x = 56. Increasing the Co concentration from x = 40 to 56 shifts the Curie temperature of Gd100-xCox ( x = 40 to 56) thin films from 180 K toward 337 K. Moreover, we extracted the values of critical parameters Tc, β, γ, and δ by using the modified Arrott plot methods. The results indicate the presence of a long-range ferromagnetic order. More importantly, we showed that the relative cooling power (RCP), which is a key parameter in magnetic refrigeration applications, is strongly enhanced by changing the Co concentration in the Gd100-xCox thin films. Our findings help pave the way toward the enhancement of the magnetocaloric effect in magnetic thin films.

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of the polycrystalline Gd 3 Ni 8 Al intermetallic compound are studied in this paper. Powder X-ray diffraction shows that the alloy is CeNi 3-type single-phase structure. The magnetic measurements indicate that the compound is ferromagnetic and undergoes a second-order phase transition at 62 K. The maximum of magnetic entropy change reaches 11 J/kg K for the field change from 0 to 50 kOe and the refrigerant capacity of the titled compound is found to be 4.8×102 J/kg.

The liquid quenched Gd3Ni alloy is observed to exhibit a ferromagnetic behavior below TC = 117 K unlike crystalline compound having an antiferromagnetic order at T < TN = 99 K. Rapid quenching from the melt results in a considerable enhancement of the magnetocaloric effect in Gd3Ni at low magnetic fields. The maximal value of the isothermal magnetic entropy change at a magnetic field change of 20 kOe for the amorphous Gd3Ni surpasses by more than 8 times the SM value for the polycrystalline counterpart. The relative cooling power for the amorphous Gd3Ni alloy is estimated as 265 J kg-1 and 676 J kg-1 at a magnetic field change of 20 kOe and 50 kOe, respectively.

In this work, crystal structure, magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of Nd0.7Gd0.3Mn2Si2 alloy were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Nd0.7Gd0.3Mn2Si2 crystallizes in ThCr2Si2-typed structure with space group I4/mmm, in which the Nd, Gd, Mn and Si atoms occupy 2a (0, 0, 0), 2a (0, 0, 0), 4d (0, 1/2, 1/4) and 4e (0, 0, 0.38261) position, respectively. The Curie temperature (Tc) of Nd0.7Gd0.3Mn2Si2 alloy is 42 K, while the spin reorientation temperature (TSR) is 26 K and the Nel temperature (TN) is 410 K. The Tc and TN were determined using PPMS and DSC, respectively. The maximum value of the magnetic entropy change (-Smax) in the field change of 0-5 T is 11.862 J/kg K, while the value of relative cooling power (RCP) in Nd0.7Gd0.3Mn2Si2 alloy is 69.666 J/kg under the field change of 5 T.

The magnetocaloric effect in La0.6Ca0.4MnO3 manganite has been investigated. The isothermal magnetization versus applied magnetic field at various temperatures in the vicinity of Curie temperature was measured, and the temperature dependence of magnetic entropy change was determined using Maxwell’s relation. This value is comparable to that in Gd. Nevertheless, the relative cooling power of La0.6Ca0.4MnO3 was shown to be considerably lower than that of Gd. The experimental results have been analyzed in frames of a phenomenological statistical model. This model considers explicitly Jahn-Teller interactions and allows prediction of the field dependences of the magnetic entropy change and the relative cooling power.

To investigate the effect of crystallization treatment on the structure and magnetocaloric effect of Gd60Co40 amorphous alloy, the melt-spun ribbons were annealed at 513 K isothermally for 20, 40 and 60 min. The results indicate that, with increasing annealing time, the Gd4Co3 (space group P63/m) and Gd12Co7 (space group P21/c) phases precipitated from the amorphous precursor in sequence. In particular, in the samples annealed for 40 and 60 min, three successive magnetic transitions corresponding to the phases of Gd4Co3, Gd12Co7 and remaining amorphous matrix were detected, which induced an overlapped broadened profile of magnetic entropy change (|ΔSM|) versus temperature. Under magnetic field changing from 0 to 5 T, |ΔSM| values of 6.65 ± 0.1 kg−1·K−1 and 6.44 ± 0.1 J kg−1·K−1 in the temperature spans of 180–196 K and 177–196 K were obtained in ribbons annealed for 40 and 60 min, respectively. Compared with the fully amorphous alloy, the enhanced relative cooling power and flattened magnetocaloric effect of partially crystallized composites making them more suitable for the Ericsson thermodynamic cycle.

Effect of Co or Cu slightly introduced in Ni50Mn35In15on martensitic transformation and magnetocaloric effect was investigated. The small doping of Co can modify exchange interaction between Mn atoms, resulting in the ferromagnetic ordering of the parent phase and a large magnetization difference across the martensitic transformation. For Cu-doped sample, a large was obtained, and gives rise to a large magnetic entropy change of 58.4 J/kg K for 5 T near room temperature accompanying with smaller hysteresis losses. The study on the doping system may have significant impact on realization of room-temperature magnetic refrigeration.

An isothermal entropy change of 240 nm (111)-oriented PMN–PT 65/35 film near the ferroelectric Curie temperature, relative cooling power (RCP) and change of heat capacity have been investigated. The extracted data characterized giant isothermal entropy change of more than 16 J/kg K in electric field shift ΔE of 455 kV cm-1, which is nearly twice than that found for PbZr 0.95 Ti 0.05 O 3 thin film at 492 kV cm-1 near the Curie point. Furthermore, the RCP ≈ 700 J/kg and change of heat capacity ≈ 233 J/kg K in electric field shift ΔE of 747 kV cm-1.
