Abstract

In order to obtain the information about magnetic states of reentrant ferromagnet, SmMn2Ge2, we have studied the pressure effect on magnetocaloric properties by magnetization measurements under high pressures up to 1.2 GPa in the temperature range from 5 to 300 K. Using the Maxwell relation, we estimated the magnetic entropy change |ΔSM| to be 0.65 JK-1mol-1 at T1 (= 100K) and 0.53 JK -1mol-1 at T2 (= 150K) under 0.1 MPa. By applying pressures up to 0.5 GPa, |ΔSM(T1)| is enhanced (2.0 JK-1 mol-1), while |ΔS M(T2)| is slightly suppressed (0.4 JK-1 mol-1). The obtained values of |ΔSM| were discussed on the basis of a mean field theory using a two-sublattice model.
