The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects of amorphous and crystalline Gd55Co35Ni10 ribbons are investigated. A main phase with a Ho12Co7-type monoclinic structure (space group P21/c) and a minor phase with a Ho4Co3-type hexagonal structure (space group P63/m) are obtained for crystalline ribbon after annealing. The amorphous ribbons order ferromagnetically and undergo a second-order transition at 192 K. For crystalline Gd55Co35Ni10 ribbons, two magnetic phase transitions occur at 158 and 214 K, respectively. The peak value of ?οem class="a-plus-plus">S M under a field change of 0- T is 6.5 J/kg K at 192 K for amorphous Gd55Co35Ni10 ribbons. A relatively large magnetic entropy change (?.0 J/kg K) under a field change of 0- T for the crystalline Gd55Co35Ni10 ribbons is obtained in the temperature interval range of 154-14 K. The large platform of magnetic entropy change and the negligible thermal/magnetic hysteresis loss mean the crystalline Gd55Co35Ni10 compound can satisfy the requirement of the Ericsson-type refrigerator working in the temperature range from 154 K to 214 K.
