Abstract

The study of the magnetic properties of DyNi4Si nanostructures is of great interest to researchers due to the magnetic properties that can be tailored and altered to enhance the magnetocaloric effects. In the present work, using Monte Carlo and ab initio calculations we present an important advancement toward controlling the magnetocaloric proprieties of nanostructured DyNi4Si via size engineering, with important implications for magnetic refrigeration applications. The results show that magnetic and magnetocaloric properties correlate with the size and morphology effects (0D, 1D and 2D).
