Abstract
Specific-heat measurements have been performed on the tetragonal ThMn1
2-type compounds NdFe4Al8, HoFe4Al8, ErFe4Al8 and YFe4Al8 in the tempe
rature range 1.5-200 K. There are only very small anomalies associated
with the magnetic ordering of the Fe sublattice in the high-temperatu
re part of the specific-heat curves and with the magnetic ordering of
Nd and Ho in the low-temperature part. A sharp peak in the specific he
at, indicative of magnetic ordering of the Er moments at 5.5 K, is obs
erved in ErFe4Al8. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
