Abstract
Direct measurements of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and calculations of the change in the magnetic part of the entropy of a large group of GdMn\({}_{1-x}\)T\({}_{x}\)Si (T = Ti, Fe, Co) compounds with a CeFeSi-type structure have been conducted. All compounds are ordered ferro- or ferrimagnetically in a wide temperature range from 120 to 390 K. The peak MCE value (\(\Delta T_{\textrm{ad}}\approx 1.1\) K when the external magnetic field varies from 0 to 12 kOe) is observed for the GdFeSi compound. The resulting concentration dependences of Curie temperatures and MCE values are analyzed assuming that the magnetism of the 3\(d\) sublattice has a band character.
