Achievement of a table-like magnetocaloric effect in the dual-phase ErZn2/ErZn composite
/ErZn composite was obtained by induction-melting method. The composite crystallizes in the phases of ErZn
2
and ErZn with the weight ratio of 53.8:46.2. The composite undergoes two successive magnetic phase transitions. And accordingly two peaks (partly overlapped) are appeared in the temperature dependence of magnetic part of entropy change Δ
S
M
(
T
) curves which resulting in a table-like magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and large refrigerant capacity (
RC
). The MCE parameters are comparable or even larger than most of the recently reported potential magnetic refrigerant materials at similar temperature region
making the dual-phase ErZn
2
/ErZn composite attractive for low-temperature magnetic refrigeration.
