The magnetic properties,magnetic phase transition and magnetocaloric effects(MCE)of Er3Si2C2 com-pound were investigated based on theoretical calculations and experimental analysis.Based on the first principles calculations,the antiferromagnetic(AFM)ground state type in Er3Si2C2 compound was pre-dicted and its electronic structure was investigated.The experimental results show that Er3Si2C2 com-pound is an AFM compound with the Néel temperature(TN)of 7 K and undergoes a field-induced first-order magnetic phase transition from AFM to ferromagnetic(FM)under magnetic fields exceeding 0.6 T at 2 K.The magnetic transition process of Er3Si2C2 compound was investigated and discussed.The values of the maximum magnetic entropy change(-ΔSMmax)and the refrigeration capacity(RC)are 17 J/(kg.K)and 193 J/kg under changing magnetic fields of 0-5 T,respectively.As a potential cryogenic magnetic refrigerant,the Er3Si2C2 compound also provides an interesting research medium to study the magnetic phase transition process.
