Field induced large magnetocaloric effect and magnetoresistance in ErNiSi
Abstract
Large magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and magnetoresistance (MR) together with negligible hysteresis loss has been observed in ErNiSi compound, which undergoes metamagnetic transition at low temperatures. Magnetization, heat capacity and resistivity measurements confirm the metamagnetic transition. The maximum value of isothermal entropy change and MR for a field change of 50 kOe are found to be 19.1 J/kg K and -34 %. Large MCE with negligible magnetic hysteresis loss could make this material promising for low temperature magnetic refrigeration.
