Observation of giant magnetocaloric effect under low magnetic fields in EuTi1-xCoxO3

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect(MCE) in EuTi1-xCoxO3(x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1) compounds have been investigated. When the Ti^4+ ions were substituted by Co2+ions, the delicate balance was changed between antiferromagnetic(AFM) and ferromagnetic(FM) phases in the EuTiO3 compou...

Summary:The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect(MCE) in EuTi1-xCoxO3(x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1) compounds have been investigated. When the Ti^4+ ions were substituted by Co2+ions, the delicate balance was changed between antiferromagnetic(AFM) and ferromagnetic(FM) phases in the EuTiO3 compound. In EuTi1-xCoxO3 system, a giant reversible MCE and large refrigerant capacity(RC) were observed without hysteresis. The values of -△SM^max were evaluated to be around 10 J·kg^-1·K^-1 for EuTi0.95Co0.05O3 under a magnetic field change of 10 kOe. The giant reversible MCE and large RC suggests that EuTi1-xCoxO3 series could be considered as good candidate materials for low-temperature and low-field magnetic refrigerant.
