Abstract

A study of the magnetocaloric effect in the serie Er 1− x Tb x Co 2 ( x=0.8 and 1) of polycrystalline samples was performed. From magnetization messurements under different applied fields, it was possible to calculate the change of magnetic entropy of each sample due to a change in magnetic field. We obtained a large value for the magnetocaloric potential in such compounds, comparable to those of rare-earth alloys.
