We report that materials exhibiting a large magnetocaloric effect (MCE) at or near room temperature are critical for solid-state refrigeration applications. The MCE is described by a change in entropy (ΔS_M) and/or temperature (ΔT_ad) of a material in response to a change in applied magnetic field. Ball milled materials generally exhibit smaller ΔS_M values compared to bulk; however, milling broadens the effect, potentially increasing the relative cooling power (RCP). The as-cast Gd₅Si₄ is an attractive option due to its magnetic transition at 340 K and associated MCE. Investigation of effect of particles size and transition temperature in the binary material, Gd₅Si₄, can lead to development of functionally graded bulk material with higher MCE and RCP than the traditional bulk materials. A two-step ball-milling process, in which coarse powder of Gd₅Si₄ was first milled with poly(ethylene glycol) followed by milling in heptane was used to produce fine particles of Gd₅Si₄ that showed a broad distribution in particle size. Magnetic measurement on the milled sample obtained after washing with water show a decrease in Curie temperature and significant broadening of the magnetic transition. Compared to bulk Gd₅Si₄, the maximum MCE of the milled samples is also reduced and shifted down by close to 30 K, but the MCE remains substantial over a broader temperature range. Lastly, the RCP of both milled samples increased 75% from the bulk material.
