Heat capacity of NdB6

We present the study of heat capacity C(T) of single-crystalline NdB6 prepared by zone floating which orders in an A-type collinear antiferromagnetic structure below TN{approximately equal to}8K. In zero field, we have observed a magnetic transition at TN=7.45K in a magnetic field of 3T, this transi...

Description
Summary:We present the study of heat capacity C(T) of single-crystalline NdB6 prepared by zone floating which orders in an A-type collinear antiferromagnetic structure below TN{approximately equal to}8K. In zero field, we have observed a magnetic transition at TN=7.45K in a magnetic field of 3T, this transition is shifted to 7.6K. From the observed results, we determined the magnetic entropy and the magnetic part of C(T) by subtracting the phonon and electronic part of the heat capacity of isostructural LaB6.
