摘要

In this work, we fabricated a Yb2TiO5 oxide and investigated its magnetic and low-temperature magnetocaloric (MC) properties. The Yb2TiO5 oxide possesses a cubic structure (space group Fm-3m), without distinct magnetic ordering down to 2 K. The constituent elements in Yb2TiO5 oxide are all distributed uniformly and with the Yb3+, Ti4+, and O2- valence states, respectively. The MC effect and performance of Yb2TiO5 oxide were assessed by maximum magnetic entropy changes, refrigerant capacity, and temperature-averaged entropy change (in lifts of 5 K), revealing values of 13.10/5.94 J/kg K, 96.84/23.23 J/kg, and 12.02/4.48 J/kg K under magnetic field variations of 0–7/0–3 T, respectively. These MC parameters of Yb2TiO5 oxide are comparable to most reported Yb-based and some updated RE-based magnetic oxides with a notable MC effect and prominent performance, rendering the Yb2TiO5 oxide suitable for active cooling applications.
