A novel class of magnetocaloric microwires composed of antiferromagnetic GdB₆ nanocrystals embedded in an amorphous ferromagnetic Gd_73.5Si₁₃B_13.5 matrix is reported. These composite microwires were created directly from a melt-extraction process. XRD, TEM, HRTEM and SAED confirm the formation of GdB₆ nanocrystals (~10 nm) in the amorphous Gd_73.5Si₁₃B_13.5 matrix. As a second-order magnetic material, the Gd_73.5Si₁₃B_13.5/GdB₆ microwires exhibit an excellent magnetocaloric response, with a large magnetic entropy change ΔS_M ~6.4 J kg^-1 K^-1 at ~120 K, a large temperature interval δT_FWHM ~130 K, and the large refrigerant capacity RC ~890 J kg^-1 for a field change of 5 T. Such microwires are a promising candidate for active magnetic refrigeration in the temperature range of 10–200 K.
