Abstract
Accompanied by a second-order paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition, a large reversible negative Δ Sm above room temperature has been observed in Ni50 - x Mn38 + x Sb12 alloys besides low-field magnetic entropy change Δ Sm around/below room temperature. A - Δ Smmax of 5.21 J kg-1 K-1 is acquired at 347 K in nominal Ni49 Mn39 Sb12 alloy for a magnetic-field change from 0 to 5 T, with a refrigerant capacity of 184 J kg-1. The large reversible Δ SM and the high reversible refrigerant capacity indicate that Ni49 Mn39 Sb12 alloy may be a promising candidate for magnetic refrigeration above room temperature.
