Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
We report on the magnetocaloric effect in an Fe-based metallic glass (Fe80B12Nb8) as compared to the benchmark material gadolinium. From temperature-dependent magnetization measurements, the magnetic entropy change was calculated using the thermodynamic Maxwell relations. The adiabatic temperature change was directly measured for both materials using a dedicated setup. An analysis of the magnetic transition in amorphous Fe80B12Nb8 and crystalline gadolinium using a mean field and a phenomenological model was carried out. It was shown that both materials, in particular crystalline gadolinium, which does not possess structural disorder but merely a fluctuation of the exchange integral, can be described using the Handrich model for the magnetic transition of disordered materials. Furthermore, the Landau theory of second-order phase transitions quantitatively describes the magnetic entropy change and its dependence on the applied field very well for both materials with different definitions of disorder.
