Abstract

We present the investigation of the magnetic field dependence of magneto-caloric properties in Mn₅Ge₃ with a near-room temperature second order phase transition (SOPT) at T_c ≃ 297.5 K. The isothermal entropy change (∣ΔS_M∣) exhibits a high-field (H ≥ 3 T) power-law behavior with exponent value of 0.58 (near TC), in corroboration with critical exponents study. The maximum entropy change (∣ΔS_M∣_max∣) exhibits a H^2∕3 dependence with addition of spatial inhomogeneity and higher order magnetization (up to M⁶) terms in Landau′s theory of SOPT. The nearly identical magnetic field evolution of magnetocaloric effect and a reasonably high refrigerant capacity of 398 J/kg (at 5 T) for inexpensive and abundant Mn₅Ge₃ make it a promising alternative to rare-earth Gadolinium for near-room temperature magnetic refrigeration technology.
