Magnetocaloric effect and refrigerant capacity of Gd-based Gd53Al24Co20Zr3 and Gd33Er22Al25Co20 bulk metallic glasses are investigated. It is found that the magnetic entropy changes compare favorably with that of Gd and are slightly larger than that of the known crystalline magnetic refrigerant compound Gd5Si2Ge1.9Fe0.1. Their good refrigerant efficiency combining with high electrical resistivity, high thermal stability, outstanding mechanical properties, tunable nature, and sufficiently soft magnetic property make them an attractive candidate for magnetic refrigerants in the temperature range of 10–100K.
