摘要: The magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of (Tb$_{1 - x}$Dy$_{x})_{6}$Co$_{1.67}$Si3 ($0 \le x \le 0.8$) have been experimentally investigated. The compounds exhibit a Ce$_{6}$Ni2Si3-type hexagonal structure and undergo a second-order magnetic transition. The Curie temperature decreases from $\sim 187$~K to 142~K as the content of Dy grows from 0 to 0.8. The maximal magnetic entropy change, for a field change of 0--5~T, varies between $\sim 6.2$ and $\sim 7.4$~J/kg$\cdot$K, slightly decreasing when Dy is introduced. The substitution of Dy leads to a remarkable increase in refrigeration capacity (RC). A large RC value of $\sim 626$~J/kg is achieved for $x=0.4$ under a field change of 0--5~T.
