Amorphous Gd65Mn25Si10 as well as crystalline Gd have technologically significant Curie temperature and large magnetic entropy change. Two types of composite materials Gd65Mn25Si10-Gd were fabricated: laminating Gd sheets and amorphous Gd65Mn25Si10 ribbons (multilayer composite) and hot pressing a m...
