Magnetic,　magnetocaloric,　electrical　properties　of　nanocrystalline　and　coarse-grained　gadolinium　(Gd)　metals　were　compared　in　the　present　work.　The　bulk　nanocrystalline　matels　have　been　consolidated　from　Gd　nanoparticles　using　spark　plasma　sintering　technique.　With　the　decrease　of　Gd　grain　size　from　micrometer　to　nanometer　range,　Curie　temperature　of　the　nanocrystalline　Gd　shifts　by　more　than　6　K　below　that　of　coarse-grained　and　the　magnetic　moment　per　Gd　atom　at　5　K　dropped　noticeably　from　7.81uB　to　6.31uB.　Magnetic　entropy　change　of　crystalline　Gd　drops　surprising　from　10.07　to　4.47　Jkg-1·K-1　at　ΔH=5　T;　adiabatic　temperature　change　drops　from　3.5　K　to　1.1　K　with　ΔH=1.5　T.　However,　magnetocaloric　effect　of　the　nanocrystalline　metals　exhibit　a　more　constant　tendency.　The　room　temperature　electrical　resistivity　increases　from　209.68　to　333.04　uΩ　cm,　while　the　low　temperature　electrical　resistivity　is　found　to　increase　surprisingly　from　16.51　to　126.30　uΩ　cm.
