“…Recently, theoretical studies on the MCE of RNi 2 ͑R = Er, Ho, Dy, Tb, and Gd͒ compounds have been reported, which suggests that the maximum MCE occurs in HoNi 2 . 15 Experimental investigations carried out in HoNi 2 are in close agreement with the theoretically predicted results. 16,17 These reports have motivated us to focus our studies on the HoNi 2 -based system.…”

“…15 The ⌬S M max of RNi 2 compounds, which have ordering temperatures less than 80 K, also lies approximately in the same range. 16 The ⌬S M max of Gd 2 PdSi 3 which is pro- posed as a potential magnetic refrigerant below 40 K is ϳ8 J/kg K ͑for ⌬H = 40 kOe͒. 17 Therefore, a comparison of the ⌬S M max of HoNiAl with that of the potential magnetic refrigerant materials indicates that this material is suitable for the refrigeration applications below 30 K. However, it may be mentioned here that a comparison of mere ⌬S M max values is not sufficient to examine the suitability of magnetic refrigerants.…”

“…It has been reported that in the case of DyNiAl the ⌬T ad max values, for ⌬H = 20 and 50 kOe, are 3.5 and 6.8 K, respectively. 5 The ⌬T ad max value, for ⌬H = 50 kOe, of the RNi 2 compounds varies in the range of 3.5-9 K, 16 whereas for ͑Er, Dy͒Al 2 compounds, for the same field change, this value varies between 7 and 11 K. 15 The ⌬T ad max value of GdPd, which is an active magnetic regenerator material used in the low temperature stage of magnetic refrigerators for liquefaction of hydrogen is 8.7 K, for a field change of 70 kOe. 19,20 Therefore, ⌬T ad max value also indicates the suitability of HoNiAl as a low temperature magnetic refrigerant.…”

“…According to von Ranke et al [15][16][17][18], which have investigated the magnetocaloric properties of RNi 2 compounds, − T for a HoNi 2 single crystal is expected to be ∼14 K in a magnetic field of 5 T [18]. The purpose of our present investigation is to check the magnetocaloric effect for the polycrystalline HoNi 2 compound and the associated solid solutions in a relatively low applied magnetic field.…”
