Highly efficient hydrogen liquefaction is required for upcoming hydrogen energy society. Magnetic refrigeration is expected as a method to realize efficient hydrogen liquefaction, and the performance depends on properties of magnetic materials. RT 2 (R: rare-earth; T: Al, Ni) Laves phase intermetallic compounds with a second-order magnetic phase transition are one of the promising magnetocaloric materials. Thermal expansion, magnetostriction, and thermal conductivity of ErAl 2, DyNi 2, DyAl 2 and GdNi 2 were measured in magnetic fields using polycrystalline samples because of the important properties for practical use in a magnetic refrigerator. Thermal expansions showed anomalies at the magnetic transition temperature. However, those in 0 T were nearly the same as copper. Magnetostriction were not as large as magnetocaloric materials with a first-order magnetic phase transition such as TbMn 2. Thermal conductivities in 0 T were almost in agreement with the literature data, and magnetic field dependence was small. These results indicate that RT 2 compounds are suitable as magnetic refrigerants for hydrogen liquefaction in practical use.
