Abstract

Using a theoretical model, described by a Hamiltonian which includes the crystalline electrical field and exchange interaction, the magnetocaloric potential for the series RAl 2 (R=Pr, Nd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm) is determined. The existence of an anomalous peak was predicted in magnetic entropy change, with applied magnetic field, for Er compound.
