Abstract

Magnetic properties D 9000Magnetocaloric Effect in CeCo4B Compound. -The title compound is prepared by arc melting of the elements under argon and characterized by powder XRD and magnetic measurements. CeCo4B crystallizes with the CaCu5-type structure in the hexagonal space group P6/mmm. CeCo4B is ferromagnetically ordered and its Curie temperature is 291 K. The maximum value of the magnetic entropy change is 0.361 J/kg·K at a magnetic field of 1 T. The phase transition in CeCo4B is of second order. -(GENCER, H.; KERVAN, N.; GENCER, A.; GUNES, M.; ATALAY*, S.; J. Alloys
