Abstract

Magnetic, thermal, magnetocaloric and transport properties of polycrystalline HoRuSi have been studied. It was found that the compound shows magnetic transitions at T1=18 K and T2=8 K. Magnetization data reveal that the ferromagnetic ordering is dominant in this compound. Magnetocaloric effect has been estimated from M-H-T data and the -{\Delta}SM has been found to be 12.8 J/kg K for field of 50 kOe, which is comparable to some potential refrigerant materials in same temperature regime.
