Large magnetocaloric effect in Gd4Co3

Abstract

We report a large entropy change (DeltaS) below 300 K, peaking near TC= 220 K, due to isothermal change of magnetic field, for Gd4Co3, with a refrigeration capacity higher than that of Gd. Notably, the isothermal magnetization is nonhysteretic - an important criterion for magnetic refrigeration without loss. DeltaS behavior is also compared with that of magnetoresistance.
