Sumario:"he magnetocaloric properties of NdPrFe17 melt-spun ribbons composed of nanocrystallites surrounded by an intergranular amorphous phase have been studied. The nanocomposite shows two successive second-order magnetic phase transitions (303 and 332 K), thus giving rise to a remarkable broadening (approximate to 84 K) of the full-width at the half-maximum of the magnetic entropy change curve, Delta S-M(T), with a consequent enhancement of the refrigerant capacity RC. For a magnetic field change of 2 T, vertical bar Delta S-M(peak)vertical bar = 2.1 J kg(-1) K-1 and RC = 175 J kg(-1). Therefore, the reversible magnetocaloric response together with the one-step preparation process makes these nanostructured Fe-rich alloy ribbons particularly attractive for room temperature magnetic refrigeration."
