contents We study structural, magnetic and magneto-thermal properties of GdRhIn compound. The room temperature X-ray diffraction measurements show hexagonal crystal structure. Temperature and field dependence of magnetization suggest two magnetic transitions antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic at 16 K and ferromagnetic to paramagnetic at 34. The heat capacity measurements confirm both the magnetic transitions in GdRhIn. The magnetization data was used to calculate isothermal magnetic entropy change and refrigerant capacity in GdRhIn, which was found to be 10.3 J/Kg-K for the field change of 70 kOe and 282 J/Kg for the field change of 50 kOe, respectively. The large magnetocaloric effect in GdRhIn suggests that the material could be used for magnetic refrigeration at low temperatures.
