Influence of Tb substitution on low-field magnetocaloric effect in Gd5Si1.72Ge2.28 alloy
Tóm tắt
The lattice parameters, magnetic phase transition, Curie temperature and magnetocaloric properties for (Gd1−xTbx)5Si1.72-Ge2.28 alloys with x = 0, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25 were investigated by X-ray powder diffractometry and magnetization measurements. 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 (|ΔSmax| = 2.24 J/(kg·K), TC = 198 K).
