| Abstract |
Specific-heat measurements have been performed on the tetragonal ThMn12-type compounds NdFe4Al8, HoFe4Al8, ErFe4Al8 and YFe4Al8 in the temperature range 1.5–200 K. There are only very small anomalies associated with the magnetic ordering of the Fe sublattice in the high-temperature part of the specific-heat curves and with the magnetic ordering of Nd and Ho in the low-temperature part. A sharp peak in the specific heat, indicative of magnetic ordering of the Er moments at 5.5 K, is observed in ErFe4Al8.
