Abstract:a b s t r a c tThe borocarbides RNi 2 B 2 C (R ¼ magnetic rare earth) exhibit rich H-T magnetic phase diagrams. Using field-dependent specific heat measurements on single-crystals of RNi 2 B 2 C (R ¼ Gd, Er), this work investigated the magnetic contribution to the specific heat when T and H are varied across these H-T phase diagrams. These measurements, together with the ones reported on HoNi 2 B 2 C, confirm that the overall evolution of each C mag ðT; HÞ curve is a faithful reflection of the features observe… Show more
