High magnetic entropy change of Pr1−xDyxNi2 compounds with second-order magnetic phase transition

We report on the thermal and magnetic properties of Dy1−xScxNi2 series compounds (x=0.1,0.3,0.5,and0.7), which were investigated through a model Hamiltonian including the exchange, Zeeman, and crystalline electric field interactions. We investigated the effect of Sc substitution on the Dy site on the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of these compounds. Theoretical results were simulated for heat capacity, entropy, and the magnetocaloric effect quantities. Our model reproduced the decrease of the magnetic ordering temperature and of the isothermal entropy change peaks as Sc concentration increases. Our theoretical results were confronted with experimental data from the literature, showing good agreement.
