In this master thesis our aim was to produce magnetocaloric materials which exhibits giant magnetocaloric effect near room temperature for magnetic refrigeration systems. Compared to conventional gas compression based refrigeration systems, magnetic refrigeration is more efficient and enviromental friendly. According to this purpose, by substituting Mn-V in CoMnGe alloy, it was tried decrease first order structural phase transtion temperature from 650 K and second order mangetic phase transition from 345 K to near room temperature and most importantly same temperature. Accordingly CoMn1-xVxGe (x=0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) alloys were prepared by using arc metler. To investigate the effects on structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of CoMn1-xVxGe alloy, prepared samples subjected to heat treatment. Heat treatment were done at 1123 K for five days and quenched in icy water. Composition of alloys were controlled by using Zeiss Evo 40 scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive x-ray analysis. Crystal structures of alloys were investigated by x-ray diffractometry experiments. X-ray patterns were analyzed by using Rietveld refinement method. Phase transition temperatures were investigated by differantial scanning calorimeter measurements. From temperature dependent and magnetic field dependent magnetization measurements, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of alloys were investigated and by using magnetic field dependent magnetization measurments data refrigeration capacities and relative cooling powers were calculated.From x-ray patterns, annealed and as-cast alloys were found in hexagonal structure (P 63/m m c). Afterwards as cast and annealed CoMn0.95V0.05Ge and CoMn0.90V0.10Ge alloys represented first order phase transition near room temperature at the differantial scanning calorimeter measurements. Accordingly temperature dependent magnetization measurements were done and as cast and annealed CoMn0.95Ti0.05Ge alloys exhibited temperature hysteresis at the phase transition temperatures. Due to this situation first order phase transformation were supported. By using related maxwell equations magnetic entropy changes were calculated. For as cast and annealed CoMn0.95Ti0.05Ge alloys magnetic entropy change values were found for 7T magnetic field change, 11.49 J/Kg.K and 32.10 J/Kg.K respectively. For CoMn0.90V0.10Ge as cast sample?s magnetic entropy change values were found for 7T magnetic field change, 8.64 J/KgK and for annealed sample?s magnetic entropy change was found for 7T magnetic field change 10.93 J/KgK.
