In this work, we consider a model which describes the CEF and magnetic interaction applied to two sublattices, where the magnetic interaction is described by a Hamiltonian who considers the Zeeman and exchange interactions in the molecular field approximation. The isothermal magnetic entropy change ΔS as a function of temperature was computationally obtained in the [001] crystallographic direction, from the equation of state of magnetization M(H, T) and entropy S (H, T) by diagonalization of the total Hamiltonian (HTot). We obtained a good agreement between the theory and the experiment was using the estimated crystalfield parameters and the exchange integral for Nd2Ni2In.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
