The Magnetocaloric Effect and Magnetic Transitions in Hydride Compounds: GdNiH3.2 and TbNiH3.4

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents the investigation of GdNiH3.2 and TbNiH3.4 hydrides magnetic transitions and magnetocaloric properties. The isothermal magnetization data in the fields up to 5T are obtained for GdNi and TbNi compounds and their hydrides and the values of magnetic entropy change are calculated. The maximum values of magnetic entropy change ΔSM in GdNiH3.2 and TbNiH3.4 are extremely large. It is shown that the hydrogenation shifts ΔSM(T) maximum to lower temperatures.
