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.

Gd5Si2Ge2-based alloys can exhibit a giant magnetocaloric effect (GMCE) which gives them the potential use in the cooling technologies[1].Through this studies, it can be found that the purity of Gd had a great impact on the magnetocaloric effect in Gd5Si2-xGe2-xZn2x alloys. When 3N Gd used and 2x=0.01, Gd5Si2-xGe2-xZn2x around the curie point of 280k get the maximum magnetic entropy change of 14.0 J/(Kg.K) under the external magnetic field change from 0 to 1T, but when 2N Gd used and 2x=0.05, Gd5Si2-xGe2-xZn2x around the curie point of 284.2k under the external magnetic field change 1T get the maximum magnetic entropy change 6.65 J/(Kg.K).

AbstractThe positive magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in the vicinity of the Curie point in Ni2+xMn1-xGa (x=0.33, 0.36, 0.39) Heusler alloys and the negative and positive MCE near the metamagnetostructural (MMS) transition and the Curie point, respectively, in Ni45Co5Mn36.5In13.5 Heusler alloy has been measured by a direct method. For the magnetic field change ΔH = 2 T, the maximal adiabatic temperature change ΔTad at the Curie point in Ni2+xMn1-xGa alloys is larger than 0.6 K. For Ni45Co5Mn36.5In13.5 alloy, the maximal value of ΔTad = 1.68 K (for the same magnetic field change, ΔH = 2 T) is observed at the MMS phase transition temperature.

In this paper, we report on the structure, magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect in NaZn13-type LaFe11.1Co0.8Si1.1Bxalloys close to room temperature. The stable NaZn13cubic structure phase (space group isFm-3c) can easily obtained by annealing at 1080 °C for 225 hours. The maximal values of magnetic entropy change for LaFe11.1Co0.8Si1.1Bx(x=0.2, 0.25) were found to be 5.3 and 5.9 J/kg K at Curie temperature for a magnetic field change in 0-1.5 T, respectively. The calculated refrigerant capacity for a field change in 0–1.5 T is about 147 and 107 J/kg K, for LaFe11.1Co0.8Si1.1B0.2and LaFe11.1Co0.8Si1.1B0.25respectively, which is as larger as those of Gd(99.3%) alloy

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.

XRD patterns show all alloys are indexed as MgCu2-type C15 cubic Laves phase structure. With the Dy substitution of Ce, the Curie temperatures from ferro-to para-magnetism become gradually enlarged.

The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in Ni1.81Mn1.64In0.55 Heusler alloy has been measured by the direct method. The field dependences of the magnetization were obtained. The phase transition temperatures were determined. The maximal adiabatic temperature change ΔTad near the Curie temperature is 1.8 K under the magnetic field change ∆H = 18 kOe. The inverse MCE (∆Tad = -3.72 K) in the same field change takes place near the temperature of martensitic transformation.

The applicability of magnetocaloric materials is limited by irreversibility. In this work, we evaluate the reversible magnetocaloric response associated with magnetoelastic transitions in the framework of the Bean-Rodbell model. This model allows the description of both second- and first-order magnetoelastic transitions by the modification of the η parameter (η<1 for second-order and η>1 for first-order ones). The response is quantified via the Temperature-averaged Entropy Change (TEC), which has been shown to be an easy and effective figure of merit for magnetocaloric materials. A strong magnetic field dependence of TEC is found for first-order transitions, having a significant increase when the magnetic field is large enough to overcome the thermal hysteresis of the material observed at zero field. This field value, as well as the magnetic field evolution of the transition temperature, strongly depend on the atomic magnetic moment of the material. For a moderate magnetic field change of 2 T, first-order transitions with η≈1.3−1.8 have better TEC than those corresponding to stronger first-order transitions and even second-order ones.

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.
