Structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of DyNi0.67Si1.34 were investigated using X-ray powder diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, and magnetization measurements. X-ray powder diffraction pattern shows that DyNi0.67Si1.34 crystallizes in the AlB2-type hexagonal structure (space group: P6/mmm, No. 191, a = b = 3.9873(9) Å, and c = 3.9733(1) Å). The compound is a spin-glass with the freezing temperature TG = 6.2 K. The ac magnetic susceptibility measurements confirm magnetic frustration in DyNi0.67Si1.34. Furthermore, the maximum value of the magnetic entropy change determined from M(H) data is –16.1 J/kg K at 10.5 K for a field change of 70 kOe.
