Abstract
The aim of the work was to create highly efficient materials for solid-state magnetic cooling at temperatures below room temperature (120–280 K). For this, new (R,R')(Co,T)2 and R(Mn,T)Si (T = Fe, Co, Al) compounds with a noticeable magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in the Curie temperature region were investigated. The main regularities of the behavior of the MCE depending on the composition are revealed.
