Table 1 Temperature-averaged entropy change

From: Highly reversible magnetocaloric effect in Gd5Si0.25Ge3.75 and Gd5Si0.5Ge3.5 under moderate magnetic fields for hydrogen liquefaction

  1. Calculated TEC values for 3 and 10 K temperature spans from ΔST(T ) data using Eq. (11) from reference73 for magnetic fields of 1, 2, and 5 T for Gd5SixGe4−x compounds (this work, indicated by *), as well as for some materials showing large magnetocaloric effects3,23,67,68,69,70,71,72,76,77,78,79,80. Entries are sorted with respect to Ttr for adequate comparison in different temperature ranges. The background color reflects the TEC values (yellow for smallest to green for largest in each column).
