Transport properties of Y1−Ho Co2 in magnetic field

Abstract Electrical resistivity and thermopower of Y1−xHoxCo2 alloys was measured from 2 to 300 K in magnetic fields up to 15 T . TC of HoCo2 increases with increasing magnetic field, however, the ordering temperature is not split into the ordering of Ho sub-lattice and the ordering of Co sub-lattice by the field contrary to the case of ErCo2.
