The plots of H/M versus M ² (Arrott curve) for (a) Ho₅Pd₂, (c) (Ho_0.75Y_0.25)₅Pd₂, and (e) (Ho_0.5Y_0.5)₅Pd₂ at different temperatures. The isothermal magnetization curves measured with the magnetizing process up to 5 T. The magnetic entropy change − Δ S M as a function of temperature for various magnetic field changes for (b) Ho₅Pd₂, (d) (Ho_0.75Y_0.25)₅Pd₂, and (f) (Ho_0.5Y_0.5)₅Pd₂.
