Polycrystalline samples of DyCo9Si4 with the tetragonal LaFe9Si4-type structure have been synthesized by arc melting and high-temperature annealing. Results of the magnetization M and specific heat Cp measurements show the existence of two magnetic anomalies at TC = 40 K and Tm = 20 K. The transition at TC = 40 K is attributed to the ferromagnetic transition of the Co sublattice. The magnetic moments of Dy3+ appear to align gradually below TC, and almost fixed below Tm, at which a broad maximum in Cp has been observed. Field-dependent M at T = 2 K up to H = 7 T suggested that the magnetic moment of Dy3+ is coupled antiferromagnetically with those of Co, forming a ferrimagnetic structure. Magnetization measurements up to 50 T at low temperatures using a pulse magnet demonstrated a spin-flip transition around H = 20 T, above which the magnetic moments of Co and Dy are in parallel.
