A large inverse magnetocaloric effect has been observed in a Ni45Co5Mn37.5In12.5 single crystal at room temperature. Magnetothermal measurements performed at different magnetic fields reveal a nonmagnetic to ferromagnetic transition correlated with the austenite-martensite phase transformation. The Heusler single crystal shows a large entropy change of 30 J/Kg K at an applied magnetic field of 7 T during the first-order magnetostructural transition at 355 K. It leads to a net refrigerant capacity of 267 J/Kg at 7 T, which is very encouraging for magnetic refrigeration applications.
