Observation of large magnetocaloric effect in equiatomic binary compound ErZn

The magnetism, magnetocaloric effect and universal behaviour in rare earth Zinc binary compound of ErZn have been studied. The ErZn compound undergoes a second order paramagnetic (PM) to ferromagnetic (FM) transition at Curie temperature of TC ∼ 20 K. The ErZn compound exhibits a large reversible ma...
