A newly designed experimental device for direct measurement of the magnetocaloric effect has been assembled and tested. Details about calibration and preliminary measurements performed on Gd as a standard reference material are reported together with results concerning the magnetocaloric effect of three different Gd eutectic compositions (Gd–Gd 7 Pd 3 , Gd–GdZn, Gd–GdCd).
As a part of a current research concerning the physical characterisation of Rare Earth intermetallic compounds for magnetic refrigeration devices, the magnetocaloric properties of the Gd 7 Pd 3 phase, which shows a ferromagnetic transition at 318 K, are presented. Heat capacity measurements have been performed in the 5-360 K temperature range and for applied magnetic fields up to 5...
