Abstract:

In this work we report the results of investigation of the magnetocaloric effect in Gd100-xYx (x = 0, 5, 10, 15) cold rolled ribbons. It is shown that the magnetocaloric effect exists within a wide temperature interval 258-295 K and it is comparable with the magnetocaloric effect observed in bulk samples of pure gadolinium. The value of the magnetocaloric effect in the rolled samples is reduced in comparison with the bulk samples and strongly depends on a degree of plastic deformation. High temperature heat treatment can restore a value of the magnetocaloric effect in the cold rolled ribbons up to initial ones. Thus, cold rolling is proposed to be a promising technique for producing thin forms of magnetocaloric materials for heat exchangers of magnetic cooling devices.
