Abstract

The study of magnetocaloric effect has been performed on polycrystalline Ho5Pd2 compound, which undergoes magnetic field-induced first order metamagnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic state below antiferromagnetic transition temperature. A large magnetic entropy change associated with the field-induced metamagnetic transition has been observed over a wide temperature range. The evaluated value of relative cooling power is 6.32J∕cm3 for a magnetic field change of 5T, which is even larger than that for reported best known magnetic refrigerant materials irrespective of the temperature range.
