From the illustration of Gd microstructure, it can be found that Gd exists along the subgrain boundaries. Hence, the crystalline size decreases and the mechanical properties improve. At-susceptibility results show that Ni56Mn18.8Ga24.5 Gd0.7 alloy still undergoes simultaneous structural and magnetic transitions and transforms from ferromagnetic martensitic phase to paramagnetic austenitic phase with increasing temperature. The maximum magnetic entropy change is 13.4 J· （kg·K） ^-1 under 1.9 T field at 338 K. The giant magnetocaloric effect found in Ni56Mn18.8Ga24.5 Gd0.7 alloy is attributed to the concurrently occurring first-order structural- and magnetic-phase transitions.展开更多

The results show that suitable partial substitution of Tb in Gd5Si1.72Ge2.28 compound remains the first-order magnetic-crystallographic transition and enhances the magnetic entropy change, although Tb substitution decreases the Curie temperature (TC) of the compounds. The magnetic entropy change of (Gd1-xTbx)5Si1.72Ge2.28 alloys retains a large value in the low magnetic field of 1.0 T. The maximum magnetic entropy change for (Gd0.80Tb0.20)5Si1.72Ge2.28 alloy in the magnetic field from 0 to 1.0 T reaches 8.7 J/(kg·K), which is nearly 4 times as large as that of (Gd0.3Dy0.7)5Si4 compound (|-Smax| = 2.24 J/(kg·K), T_C = 198 K).展开更多
