Magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects of RNiSi2 (R= Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm) compounds
Orthorhombic CeNiSi2-type polycrystalline RNiSi2 (R=Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm) compounds were synthesized and the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties were investigated in detail. The transition temperatures of RNiSi2 compounds are all in a very low temperature range (<30 K). As temperature increases,...
