The Gd-based amorphous/nanocrystal composite is prepared by controlling the cooling rate and the element ratio. The X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter and atomic force microscope/magnetic force microscope are used to confirm the composite microstructures from different perspectives. The magnetic test shows the great enhancement of magnetocaloric effect in the metallic glassy composite. The large magnetic refrigerant capacity (RC) up to 103 J. kg-1 is more than double the RC values of the Gd-based bulk metallic glass and pure Gd. The full width at half maximum of the magnetic entropy change (Sm) peak almost spreads over the whole low-temperature range, which is five times wider than that of the pure Gd. The maximum Sm approaches a nearly constant value in a wide temperature span (over 80 K). The super paramagnetic nanoclusters of the composite increase the magnetic refrigerant capacity greatly. In combination with the low magnetic hysteresis and large resistance, the metallic glass composite may be a potential candidate for the ideal Ericsson-cycle magnetic refrigeration.
