Specific heats of R,Zn, intermetallic compounds

AbstracL Specific-heat measuremen@ have teen performed on polycrystalline RG5l.l mmpounds (R e Pr, Nd, l%, Dy9 Ho, Er and y) in the temperature range from 0.3 10 150 K For all the mmpounds, except for R E Y, magnetic anomalies in the specific heat have teen obselved, indicating the BtiSIence of magnetic order at low temperatures
