Low-field magnetocaloric effect occurred in itinerant metamagnetic materials is at core for magnetic cooling application. This works reports the magnetocaloric responses obtained at 1.35 T for the silicon-doped iron-based binary alloy La(Fe0.88Si0.12)(13) in the bulk and ribbon form. Both samples possess a same symmetry but with different crystallite sizes and lattice parameters. The ribbon sample shows a larger maximum entropy change (nearly 8.5 times larger) and a higher Curie temperature (5 K higher) in comparison with that of the bulk sample. The obtained relative cooling power for the ribbon is also larger and very promising for application (RCP = 153 J/kg versus 25.2 J/kg for the bulk). The origin of the effect observed is assigned to the occurrence of negative magnetovolume effect in the ribbon structure with limit crystallization, caused by rapid cooling process at the preparation, which induced smaller crystallite size and large lattice constant at the overall weaker local crystal field.
