Abstract

Rare-earth-transition-metal intermetallics show very interesting magnetic properties for numerous applications (hard magnetic materials, magnetic refrigeration, ...). This paper is devoted to the study of the structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of the intermetallic nanomaterials PrCo\(_3\), which derives from the PuNi\(_3\) type structure. This system crystallizes into the rhombohedral structure (\(R{\bar{3}}m\) space group). PrCo\(_3\) compound exhibits a second-order ferro-paramagnetic transition at around 330 K. This 1:3 system, based on a stacked Pr\(_2\)Co\(_4\) and PrCo\(_5\) units, has a magnetocaloric effect of 1.3 J/kg K at low field. In addition, we demonstrated that the MCE derived from phenomenological and experimental approaches were in agreement.
