Low-temperature magnetocaloric materials are of great importance for potential applications of gas liquefaction such as nitrogen, hydrogen and helium for their low liquidation temperatures (∼4 K for helium, ∼20 K for hydrogen and ∼77 K for nitrogen respectively), of which the working temperature, the maximal magnetic entropy change ((-ΔSM)max), the maximal adiabatic temperature change ((ΔTad)max),
