Magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect in Tm-based magnesium compounds Tm4PdMg and Tm4PtMg

Low-field induced large magnetocaloric effect in Tm2Ni0.93Si2.93: influence of short-range magnetic correlation

“…Rare-earth based compounds are always attractive candidates to exhibit a large MCE due to their large localized moments [3,4,[8][9][10]. Presently, Tm-based compounds have been paid significant attention to search for large MCE in the low temperature region due to their relatively low transition temperatures [11,12]. We have recently reported that a new intermetallic compound Gd 2 NiSi 3 (AlB 2 type crystal structure; space group: P6/mmm), which belongs to R 2 TX 3 (R = rare-earth, T = transition element, X = Si, Ge, etc) family orders antiferromagnetically below 16.4 K and shows large MCE around its transition temperature [13].…”
