Abstract The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in dysprosium zinc binary DyZn compound were studied. The compound reveals a paramagnetic-to-ferromagnetic transition together with a spin reorientation phenomenon at Curie temperatures of T C ∼135 and T SR ∼50 K, respectively. A large reversible MCE was observed in DyZn around T C . For the magnetic field change of 0–7 T, the values of maximum magnetic entropy change (–Δ S M max ), relative cooling power ( RCP ), and refrigerant capacity ( RC ) were 12.2 J/kg K, 895 J/kg, and 672 J/kg, respectively.
