Magnetocaloric and Magnetoelastic Properties of the Gd5Si2Ge2 with Small Indium Substitutions in p-Sublattice

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this work was the complex investigation of magnetic, magnetocaloric and magnetoelastic properties of compounds based on Gd5Si2Ge2 with small In substitutions in p-sublattice. The conducted measurements revealed that both the magnetocaloric effect and the volume magnetostriction upon cooling reach the higher values than upon heating. Indium substitution leads to the appearance of the second maximum on the temperature dependence of the magnetocaloric effect resulting in the increase of the refrigerant capacity.
