| contents | Gadolinium stand as the favored choice among magnetic refrigerant materials for numerous active magnetic regenerator (AMR) prototypes due to its remarkable ability to exhibit a substantial change in magnetic entropy. This unique characteristic arises from its status as one of the elemental ferromagnets with a high Curie temperature, closely aligning with room temperature conditions, and undergoing a second-order magnetic phase transition. In this comprehensive study, we employ density functional theory (DFT) calculations to explore the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of both Gadolinium bulk and film configurations. Our primary objective is to gain a deeper understanding of the intricate physics underlying the intriguing magnetocaloric features observed in Gadolinium. This investigation provides valuable insights into the potential applications and the broader implications of Gadolinium in the realm of magnetic refrigeration technology. |
