Magnetic refrigeration could be an efficient alternative refrigeration technology if operated at high cycling frequencies [1]. In order to investigate if the magnetocaloric materials are applicable in a high-frequency cooling device we measured the adiabatic temperature change Δ Tad of a Fe2P-type alloy [2] under different field-change rates ranging from 0.93 Ts−1 in a permanent-magnet-based Halbach setup to 2700 Ts−1 in pulsed fields. We observed that a field-rate independent second-order like phase transition always overlaps with the first-order phase transition leading to a non-saturating behavior of Δ Tad even in fields up to 20 T. By measurements under different field pulse rates we show that the first-order phase transition cannot follow the fast field changes, resulting in a distinct field-dependent hysteresis of Δ Tad.
