The thermal stability, magnetocaloric effect, and refrigerant capacity (RC) of Gd–Co–Ni metallic glasses were investigated. These alloys possess high glass transition temperature and crystallization temperature as well as a relatively wide supercooled liquid region ΔTx(ΔTx = Tx − Tg) (40–55 K). With...
