Abstract
In this work, we provide an experimental investigation of the melt-spun Gd30Ho30Cu20Al20 ribbon regarding its glass-forming ability (GFA), magnetic, and cryogenic magnetocaloric (MC) properties. Our studies indicate that the Gd30Ho30Cu20Al20 amorphous ribbon possesses prominent GFA and undergoes a second order type magnetic phase transition around 51.4 K. Moreover, considerable cryogenic MC responses were realized in present Gd30Ho30Cu20Al20 amorphous ribbon. The MC parameters of maximum magnetic entropy change, temperature-averaged entropy change (5 K-lift) and relative cooling power under a magnetic field change of 0–5 T are deduced to be 7.14 J/kgK, 7.06 J/kgK and 540.6 J/kg, respectively, which are comparable to most realized RE-dominated amorphous materials with prominent cryogenic MC responses, making the present Gd30Ho30Cu20Al20 of interest for magnetic refrigeration application.
