ABSTRACT
We have investigated the anisotropy of the magnetocaloric effect in a NdCo5 single crystal in a wide range of temperatures, including the spin-reorientation temperature region. In the field µ(0)H =1.3 T in the spin-reorientation region 250-310 K, we discovered a giant rotating magnetocaloric effect of ~ 1.6 K, caused by rotation of the magnetization vector. The calculations of the anisotropy magnetocaloric effect for the field µ(0)H =1.3 T have been carried out.
