✦ Synopsis

DyB 2 C 2 with an antiferroquadrupolar (AFQ) transition at T Q ¼ 24:7 K was diluted by non-magnetic Y and examined by specific heat experiments under magnetic fields in order to elucidate its magnetic phase transition behavior. Basically, the phase diagram of Dy 0:4 Y 0:6 B 2 C 2 is similar to that of DyB 2 C 2 . In Dy 0:5 Y 0:5 B 2 C 2 , the AFQ transition occurs simultaneously with the antiferromagnetic transition at T N .
