Abstract. The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) is studied in CeFe2 and Ru-doped CeFe2 alloys with dc magnetization measurements. The pure CeFe2 compound shows a distinct peak in MCE around the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition. In Ru-doped CeFe2 alloys there is a further transition from the ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic state at low temperatures. This latter magnetic transition gives rise to a relatively large inverse MCE. A comparative study of the MCE associated with two different magnetic transitions is made and the possible role of a structural transition in the inverse MCE is discussed.
