XRD patterns indicated that all the samples were crystallized in a single phase with MgCu2-type structure (Laves phase). Ce substitution for Gd increased the lattice parameters and decreased the Curie temperature from 163 K for x = 0 to 37 K for x = 0.75. A maximum entropy change of 3.82 J/kg K was observed when a 2 T magnetic field was applied to the x = 0 sample. This entropy change decreased with increasing Ce content to 2.04,J/kg K for the x = 0.75 sample.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessmagnetic propertiesmagnetocaloric effectintermetallic compoundslaves phaseArticle16433734110.4283/JMAG.2011.16.4.3372-s2.0-84856573517Q4WOS:000298866000004Q3
