Abstract

The specific heat and spontaneous magnetization of high-purity Dy single crystal are measured in the temperature range 4.2–300 K. The magnetic contribution to the specific heat is determined and the magnetic part of the entropy is calculated. The magnetic ordering in the paramagnetic region above the Néel temperature is discussed.

    Citation Excerpt :

    The highest values of adiabatic temperature change (ΔT) and largest and sharpest jumps in temperature dependences of magnetization (M), heat capacity (C) and thermal conductivity coefficient (k) are observed in high-purity materials. A number of experimental results for polycrystalline and single-crystalline heavy RE metals with high purity are presented in [10–16]. The preparation of high-purity materials is a time-consuming procedure and greatly affects the final cost of materials.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Although stated to be of high purity, no hydrogen value or the possible presence of other lanthanides was given for the sample analysis and this may explain the difference from the selected values. Other measurements such as those of Jayasuriya et al. (1985b) (75–400), Nikitin et al. (1991) (4–300 K), and Chernyshov et al. (2005) (4–350 K) were given only in the form of small graphs. The enthalpy values of Dennison et al. (1966a) were given only in the form of an equation and smooth values with actual data points being given by Gschneidner (1991).
