Magnetic transition and magnetocaloric effect of Gd4Sb3-xRx (R=Si, Ge, Sn, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.75) compounds

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of Gd4Sb3-xRx (R = Si, Ge, Sn, x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) compounds have been studied systematically. The Curie temperature (Tc) of these compounds can be tuned from 270 K to 305 K depending on the substitution amount. All the compounds undergo a...
