Abstract
Specific heat and thermal conductivity measurements of TmVO4 and DyVO4 with applied magnetic field are reported. Experimental results for TmVO4 are well described by a molecular field theory whereas such a calculation fails to interpret the DyVO4 results as short range order interactions are not taken into account.
