摘要: Abstract Magnetic and heat capacity measurements have been carried out on polycrystalline Dy1−xErxCo2 solid solutions (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3). Powder X-ray diffraction at room temperature revealed that all consist of the C15 cubic Laves phase MgCu2 type structure. These are ferromagnetic with a Curie TC below 138 K. Their temperatures decrease from 138 K for DyCo2 to 106 K Dy0.7Er0.3Co2. At higher temperatures, Curie–Weiss paramagnets. Both magnetic showed samples undergo first-order transition paramagnetic state. Heat allowed us determine Debye temperature. The magnetocaloric effect has estimated both in terms isothermal entropy change adiabatic fields up maximum 3 T.
