Abstract

The microstructure, magnetism, and magnetocaloric properties in melt-spun Er0.2Gd0.2Ho0.2Co0.2Cu0.2 ribbons were reported. The ribbons are fully amorphousized and all the constituent elements are distributed uniformly. The large table-like magnetocaloric effect (MCE) from 25 to 75 K has been observed, resulting in a large value of refrigerant capacity (RC). With the magnetic field change (Δµ0H) of 0–5 T, the values of maximum magnetic entropy change reaches 11.1 J/kg K, and the corresponding value of RC are as large as 806 J/kg, make the amorphous Er0.2Gd0.2Ho0.2Co0.2Cu0.2 ribbons extremely attractive for cryogenic magnetic refrigeration.
