We present the large reversible magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of the ferromagnetic semiconductor EuS, which shows a maximum magnetic entropy change of -Delta S-m(max) similar to 37 J kg(-1) K-1, an adiabatic temperature change of Delta T-ad similar to 10.4 K and a relative cooling power of RCP similar to 782 J kg(-1) at 18.5 K for a magnetic field change Delta H = 5 T. Particularly, the large MCE is isotropic and without hysteresis loss, even for a magnetic field change of 2 T the values of -Delta S-m(max), Delta T-ad and RCP reach as high as 22 J kg(-1) K-1, 7.5 K and 284 J kg(-1), respectively. These results indicate that EuS has excellent refrigeration performance at the temperatures near 20 K, and thus can be considered as the potential magnetic refrigerant material for liquefaction of hydrogen.
