Abstract
Based on experimental and theoretical results, the magnetic properties, magnetic phase transitions, and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of TmNi2Si2 were studied. In this study, we confirmed that unstable antiferromagnetic interaction underwent a field-induced phase transition from meta-magnetic to ferromagnetic under magnetic fields exceeding 0.2 T in TmNi2Si2. Moreover, a large reversible cryogenic MCE was observed. The maximum magnetic entropy change (−ΔSMmax) and refrigeration capacity were found to be 15.4 J kg−1 K−1 and 68.0 J kg−1, respectively, when changing the magnetic field from 0 to 2 T. The large reversible MCE observed under the low magnetic field change indicates the potential application of TmNi2Si2 in cryogenic magnetic refrigerators.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]
