Abstract
Erbium orthophosphate ErPO4 was successfully prepared. The XRD pattern analyses have proved that the ErPO4 crystallizes in the tetragonal structure (I41/amd). Under a magnetic field of 50 kOe, the magnetic entropy change (− ΔSM) reaches 23.78 J/kg K at 2.6 K for ErPO4. The value of the relative cooling power is 475 J/kg. The lowest temperature and the large MCE have inferred that ErPO4 is a potential candidate for sub-kelvin magnetic refrigeration applications.
