Abstract
The specific heat of polycrystalline intermetallics YCo12B6 and GdCo12 B6 which crystallize in the hexagonal SrNi12B6 structure have been mea sured in the temperature range of 80 K < T < 250 K. The results are su ccessfully explained using the Weiss and the Neel molecular field mode ls and the Ginzburg-Landau theory. The implications of the present res ults are also discussed.
