Effect of Dy substitution in the giant magnetocaloric properties of HoB2

Recently, a massive magnetocaloric effect near the liquefaction temperature of hydrogen has been reported in the ferromagnetic material HoB2. Here we investigate the effects of Dy substitution in the magnetocaloric properties of Ho1-xDyxB2 alloys (x = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0). We find that the Curie t...
