Any compound shows one or two peak(s) at magnetic transition temperature(s) in the temperature dependence of the specific heat. The values of the specific heat below the temperature of 10 K for α-Gd2S3 are considerably larger than those for other α-R2S3 and comparable to those for other cold storage materials. Application of magnetic field perpendicular to the b-axis of α-Dy2S3 single crystal shifts the antiferromagnetic transition temperature TN1 toward higher temperature and decreases magnetic entropy. In this case, adiabatic demagnetization after isothermal magnetization at 12 K with a magnetic field of 5 T yields a magnetic refrigeration effect of Tad = 5.8 K., 特集 : 「希土類研究プロジェクトの軌跡」 4. 高性能磁気熱変換材料の開発}, pages = {33--36}, title = {高性能磁気熱変換材料の開発を目指して}, volume = {63}, year = {2014}, yomi = {エビス, シュウジ and アワカ, ジュンジ and フジ, コウイチロウ} }
