We propose a new cryogenic refrigerator which is a hybrid of the Brayton ma
gnetic-cooling cycle and the Gifford-McMahon (GM) gas-cooling cycle. We eva
luate the refrigeration power of the refrigerator with an ErNi regenerator
material by a numerical simulation. The results show a remarkably large ref
rigeration power in contrast to the conventional simple GM gas refrigerator
