Abstract

Magnetic properties of tetragonal compounds DyB 2C 2 and HoB 2C 2 are investigated by magnetization, specific heat and neutron diffraction experiments. An antiferroquadrupolar (AFQ) ordering occurs below T Q=24.7 K with a successive magnetic transition at T N=15.3 K in DyB 2C 2. In contrast to DyB 2C 2, an AFQ transition in HoB 2C 2 occurs at 4.5 K below an antiferromagnetic transition temperature at 5.9 K.
