Soft magnetic amorphous alloys are the new candidate material for high temperature magnetic refrigeration, which is based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE). Gadolinium, as the benchmark material exhibiting excellent magnetocaloric properties at near room temperature is added as an alloying element...
