Abstract

The EuTi1−xAlxO3 (x = 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15) compounds exhibit the ferromagnetic state. A giant reversible MCE of EuTi1−xAlxO3 (x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.15) compounds was observed, which was attributed to the increase of ferromagnetic ordering. With increasing the Al content, the value of −ΔSM max is increased from 11.6 J/kg K to15.6 J/kg K for EuTi1−xAlxO3, and the RC values are 48.4 J/kg for EuTi0.95Al0.05O3, 53.1 J/kg for EuTi0.9Al0.1O3 and 58.2 J/kg for EuTi0.85Al0.15O3 with magnetic field change 0–1 T. Additionally, the maximum value of ΔTad is 4.7 K for EuTi0.85Al0.15O3 compound as magnetic field changes 1 T. The EuTi1−xAlxO3 with giant −ΔSM, large RC and large ΔTad suggest an important material for magnetic refrigerant at low-temperature.
