Magnetic phase transitions and large magnetic entropy change with a wide temperature span in HoZn
چکیده انگلیسی


• Magnetic phase transitions and magnetocaloric effect in HoZn were studied.
• The critical properties of HoZn were systematically investigated.
• The obtained critical exponents are satisfied with scaling theory.
• A large reversible magnetocaloric effect in HoZn was observed.
• HoZn could be a promising candidate for magnetic refrigeration.

CsCl-type HoZn undergoes two successive magnetic phase transitions: (i) paramagnetic to ferromagnetic (FM) at TC ∼ 72 K and (ii) a spin reorientation (SR) at TSR ∼ 26 K. Magnetization and modified Arrott plots indicate that HoZn undergoes a second-order magnetic phase transition around TC. The obtained critical exponents have some small deviations from the mean-field theory, indicating a short range or a local magnetic interaction which is properly related to the coexistence of FM and SR transitions at low temperature. Two successive magnetic transitions in HoZn induce one broad pronounced peak together with a shoulder in the temperature dependence of the magnetic entropy change −ΔSM(T) curves, resulting in a wide temperature range with a large relative cooling power (RCP). For a field change of 0–7 T, the maximum value of −ΔSM is 15.2 J/kg K around TC with a large RCP value of 1124 J/kg. The large reversible magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and RC indicate that HoZn is a good candidate for active magnetic refrigeration.
