  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The paper presents the investigation of GdNiH<jats:sub>3.2</jats:sub> hydride magnetocaloric properties. The isothermal magnetization in the fields up to 5 T and heat capacity data are obtained for GdNiH<jats:sub>3.2</jats:sub> and GdNi compounds. The maximum value of magnetic entropy change Δ<jats:italic>S</jats:italic><jats:sub>M</jats:sub> in GdNiH<jats:sub>3.2</jats:sub> is extremely large and obtained in much lower temperature range compared to GdNi.</jats:p><jats:p>It is shown that the hydrogenation does not noticeably affect the value of Δ<jats:italic>S</jats:italic><jats:sub>M</jats:sub> but shifts Δ<jats:italic>S</jats:italic><jats:sub>M</jats:sub>(T) maximum to lower temperatures (∼ 11K). The possibility of GdNiH<jats:sub>3.2</jats:sub> application in cryogenic devices is discussed.</jats:p><jats:p>(© 2014 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co. KGaA, Weinheim)</jats:p>
