Abstract

The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in EuCu1.75P2 compound has been studied by the magnetization and heat capacity measurements. Magnetization and modified Arrott plots indicate that the compound undergoes a second-order phase transition at TC~ 51 K.

A large reversible MCE was observed around TC. The values of maximum magnetic entropy change (- SMmax) reach 5.6 and 13.3 J Kg-1 K-1 for the field change of 2 and 7 T , respectively, with no obvious hysteresis loss in the vicinity of Curie temperature. The corresponding maximum adiabatic temperature changes ( Tadmax) are evaluated to be 2.1 and 5.0 K. The magnetic transition and the origin of large MCE in EuCu1.75P2 were also discussed.

PACS: 75.30.Sg; 75.30.Kz

Keywords: EuCu1.75P2 compound; Magnetocaloric effect; Magnetic transition.
