Abstract

The structure, magnetic and magnetocaloric effect of Pr1−xDyxNi2 (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) compounds have been systematically studied. According to X-ray diffraction data, all samples exhibit MgCu2 laves cubic structure. Despite the addition of Dy element, Pr1−xDyxNi2 series compounds remains second-order magnetic phase transition throughout, but both the maximum magnetic entropy change (ΔSM) and the width at half-maximum of the ΔSM peak (δTFWHM) increase and reach 19.4 J/(kg·K) and 30 K (x = 0.8), respectively, resulting in an increase in the relative cooling power (RCP). Pr1−xDyxNi2 compounds show the potential application of magnetic refrigeration materials.
