These two transitions appreciably enlarge the magnetic-refrigeration temperature window and yield a huge refrigeration capacity of 610 J kg^-1, with a maximum magnetic entropy change -ASmax of 17 J kg^-1K^-1, at a magnetic-field change of 5 T. The corresponding values for low magnetic-field change of 2 T are 193 J kg^-1 and 7.4 J kg-lK^-1, respectively.展开更多
