摘要

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects (MCEs) have been investigated in ErSi compound, which crystallizes in the orthorhombic CrB-type structure. This compound is antiferromagnetic (AFM) with a Néel temperature TN of 12.5 K. The measurements of the temperature and field dependences of the magnetization clearly show that the ErSi compound undergoes a field-induced metamagnetic transition from AFM to ferromagnetic (FM) state below TN. The isothermal magnetic entropy change (Δ SM) and refrigerant capacity (RC) of ErSi have been measured for various applied magnetic fields and their values are found to be -14.8J·kg-1·K-1 and 210 J·kg -1 for a field change of 0-5 T, respectively. The large MCE is attributed to the field-induced AFM to FM metamagnetism occurring in this compound.
