Summary

These compounds show characteristically lower magnetic transition temperatures than other rare earth intermetallic compounds. The refrigeration capacity of Gifford-McMahon refrigerators has been remarkably improved by the use of holmium(1.5)-erbium(1.5)-ruthenium spheres as regenerator materials at the temperature range below 5 K. This material possesses a large heat capacity even under magnetic fields of 0.5 T in such a temperature range. Spherical powders of these materials were produced by a simple method.
