Popis: We present measurements of the ac susceptibility, magnetization, resistivity and specific heat of the intermetallic Laves phase compound TmNi2. The specific heat of LuNi2 is measured separately from 1.7 to 100 K, enabling an analysis of the magnetic specific heat of TmNi2 over the temperature range 45 mK – 100 K. This material shows a ferromagnetic transition temperature of 1.1 K and a crystal field singlet ground state. Several sets of Hamiltonian parameters are discussed, taking into account the recently reported distortion from cubic symmetry in TmNi2.
