摘要：
In this work, we use the Monte Carlo method to calculate the magnetocaloric effect in the compounds Gd-5(SixGe1-x)(4) for x>0.5, where the magnetic phase transition is of second order. The isothermal entropy change and the adiabatic temperature change upon magnetic field variations are in good agreement with the available experimental data.
