Abstract
The crystal structure, magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of HoCoC2 and ErCoC2 have been investigated. They both crystallize in orthorhombic CeNiC2-type structure with Amm2 space group and a second-order paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition around the Curie temperature TC â¼11Â K and â¼14Â K occurred in them. Under the magnetic field change (ÎH) of 0-5Â T, the maximal values of magnetic entropy change, refrigerant capacity and relative cooling power are 15.6Â J/kg K, 183Â J/kg, 242Â J/kg for HoCoC2 and 17.2Â J/kg K, 243Â J/kg, 375Â J/kg for ErCoC2, respectively.
