摘要：
A thermodynamical analysis of second-order magnetic transitions in commensurate and incommensurate magnetic systems within a mean-field theory is presented. New and original results are obtained concerning the specific heat of amplitude-modulated magnetic structures; especially the specific-heat discontinuity at the ordering temperature T(N) is reduced by a factor of 2/3 with regard to that expected in ferro- or helimagnetic structures. In addition, under certain conditions, the maximum of specific heat at T(N) is shifted to a temperature below T(N). Recent experimental data on GdCu2Si2 and GdNi2Si2 compounds support quite well these peculiarities.
