Description
Summary:•Amorphous alloys Fe67-xNixCr4(SiB)20 were prepared using melt spinning technique.•Landau theory and Arrott’s plots confirm the occurrence of second order phase transition inFe67-xNixCr4(SiB)20 ribbons.•Curie temperature and magnetocaloric performances are very influenced by Ni substitution.•A phenomenological model was used to predict the magnetocaloric parameters. Amorphous Fe76-xNixCr4(SiB)20 (x = 12 and 25) ribbons were prepared using melt spinning technique. Their structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer, and Mössbauer spectrometry. The samples were found to be amorphous. Room Mössbauer measurements ensured the amorphous state of Fe76-xNixCr4(SiB)20 ribbons and get further information about the effect of Ni content in the hyperfine parameters. The magnetic transition was analyzed in terms of Landau theory around the transition temperature. The amorphous alloys exhibit a second order transition from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase. With increasing Ni concentration, the Curie temperature decreases as well as the maximum entropy change(-ΔSmmax) and relative cooling power (RCP). In addition, a phenomenological model was used to predict reasonably the magnetocaloric parameters.
