Abstract

The specific heats of RTe2 (R: La, Ce, Pr, Sm and Gd) have been measured in the temperature region from 1.5 to 200 K. All except for LaTe2 and PrTe2 have some peaks due to magnetic phase transitions. These peaks were compared with the results of magnetization and electrical resistivity. The strengths of their crystalline fields and their Debye temperatures are also obtained by a quantitative analysis.
