The Magnetic Phase Transitions and Magnetocaloric Effect in the Ho(Co1-XAlx)2 and Tb(Co1-XAlx)2 Compounds

Article Preview

Abstract:

Direct measurements of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and magnetization have been conducted for the R(Co1-xAlx)2 (R = Tb, Ho) compounds. It was found that the small substitutions of Co by nonmagnetic Al lead to an increase both of the magnetic ordering temperature and the value of MCE. The following increase in Al content decreases the Curie temperature and the value of MCE. The analyses of the MCE effect is conducted considering the ferrimagnetic structure and the itinerant nature of these compounds.
