Abstract

A large reversible magnetocaloric effect has been observed in Tm ₃Co compound. The Tm₃Co compound exhibits two successive magnetic transitions with the increasing temperature: antiferromagnetic (AFM) to ferromagnetic (FM) transition at 4.5 K and FM to paramagnetic (PM) transition at 6.5 K. Under a magnetic field change of 5 T, the maximum value of magnetic entropy change -ΔS_M is 19.9 J/kg K at 7.5 K and the refrigerant capacity power (RCP) is 300 J/kg with no hysteresis loss. In particular, the large reversible -ΔS_M (11.6 J/kg K) is achieved for a low magnetic field change of 2 T. The large reversible magnetocaloric effect (both the large -ΔS_M and the high RCP) indicates that Tm ₃Co could be a promising candidate for magnetic refrigeration.
