Abstract

The adiabatic temperature change $\Delta T_{\mathrm{ ad}}$ and the isothermal entropy change $\Delta S_{m}$ were measured in a Er2Fe14B single crystal in the temperature range of 250–370 K under a magnetic field change of $\Delta \mu _{0} H = 1.9$ T. The magnetic field was applied along the crystallographic axes $a$ and $c$ . Under adiabatic conditions, the application of a 0.5 T field along the $c$ -direction of the Er2Fe14B single crystal leads to a negative $\Delta T_{\mathrm{ ad}}$ at temperatures below the spin-reorientation temperature $T_{\mathrm{ SR}}=323$ K. In this case, the maximum $\Delta T_{\mathrm{ ad}}$ reaches −0.9 K in the temperature range of 270–280 K. Along the $a$ -direction, the magnetocaloric effect above $T_{\mathrm{ SR}}$ is positive, and $\Delta T_{\mathrm{ ad}}$ reaches 0.68 K in the magnetic field 0.5 T at the temperatures of 320–330 K. Under isothermal conditions, the maximal magnetic entropy change is −0.86 J kg $^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}$ at 328 K when the magnetic field is applied along the $a$ -direction and $\Delta S_{m}=1.27$ J kg $^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}$ at 275 K if the single crystal is magnetized along the $c$ -axis.
