Abstract
The adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration based on the magnetocaloric effect of magnetic materials has been regarded as an effective technology to attain sub-Kelvin temperature. In this article, the magnetic properties and MCE of Na5Gd4F(SiO4)4 compound are investigated. Due to the high Gd3+ ion/anion ligand ratio and weak magnetic interaction, Na5Gd4F(SiO4)4 exhibits a large magnetic entropy change of 49.6 J·kg−1·K−1 under magnetic field change of 0–7 T at 2.6 K, which surpasses the commercial magnetic refrigerant Gd3Ga5O12 under the same conditions. Besides, its refrigeration capacity and the relative cooling power under magnetic field change of 0–7 T reaches up to 308.9 J·kg−1 and 406.7 J·kg−1, respectively. These properties indicate that Na5Gd4F(SiO4)4 compound is a promising magnetic refrigeration material.
