摘要: The magnetic properties and the magnetic entropy change \Delta S have been investigated for Gd6Co1.67Si3 compounds with a second-order phase transition. The saturation moment at 5K and the Curie temperature TC are 38.1\muB and 298K, respectively. The \Delta S originates from a reversible second-order magnetic transition around TC and its value reaches 5.2J/kg.K for a magnetic field change from 0 to 5T. The refrigerant capacity (RC) of Gd6Co1.67Si3 are calculated by using the methods given in Refs.[12] and [21], respectively, for a field change of 0--5T and its values are 310 and 440\,J/kg, which is larger than those of some magnetocaloric materials with a first-order phase transition.

Abstract: The magnetic properties and the magnetic entropy change $\Delta S$ have been investigated for Gd6Co1.67Si3 compounds with a second-order phase transition. The saturation moment at 5K and the Curie temperature TC are 38.1$\mu$B and 298K, respectively. The $\Delta S$ originates from a reversible second-order magnetic transition around TC and its value reaches 5.2J/kg$\cdot$K for a magnetic field change from 0 to 5T. The refrigerant capacity (RC) of Gd6Co1.67Si3 are calculated by using the methods given in Refs.[12] and [21], respectively, for a field change of 0--5T and its values are 310 and 440 J/kg, which is larger than those of some magnetocaloric materials with a first-order phase transition.
