We report the magnetocaloric effect in the metamagnetic compound Gd2In obtained from magnetization measurement. Gd2In was previously reported to have two magnetic transitions: (i) a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition below 190 K and (ii) a ferromagnetic to an antiferromagnetic state below 105 K. The low temperature antiferromagnetic state is unstable under an applied magnetic field and undergoes metamagnetic transition to a ferromagnetic like state. We observe conventional positive magnetocaloric effect (the magnetic entropy change, Delta S-M < 0) around 190 K at all applied fields. The magnetocaloric effect is found to be inverse (negative) at low fields around 105 K (Delta S-M > 0), however it turns positive at higher fields (Delta S-M < 0). The observed anomaly is found to be related to the field induced transition which drives the system from an antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic state. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
