Abstract

We calculate the specific heat and susceptibility of rare earth magnetic superconductors in the context of the Ginzburg–Landau theory. The specific heat and susceptibility are calculated at both the coexistence phase of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity and normal phase. Theoretical results are compared with experimental results which agree excellently well.
