The Tb 1−x Y x Mn 2 Ge 2  series (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) compounds are found to exhibit two magnetic phase transitions with decreasing temperature: from the paramagnetic state to the antiferromagnetic interlayer state at T N  inter  and from an antiferromagnetic interlayer structure to a collinear ferrimagnetic interlayer structure at T C  inter . Compared with the slight change of T N  inter  (409 K, 410 K and 417 K for x = 0, 0.1 and 0.2 respectively), the replacement of Y for Tb leads to a significant decrease in T C  inter  from 97.5 K for x = 0 to 74.6 K for x = 0.2. The variation in T C  inter  can be ascribed to the combination of two effects: (1) chemical pressure and (2) magnetic dilution effect by Y substitution for Tb. Besides, a strong anisotropic magnet-volume effect has been detected around T C  inter  in all compounds with Δa/a = 0.125%, 0.124% and 0.130% for x = 0, 0.1 and 0.2, respectively while no obvious effect is detected along the c-axis. The maximum magnetic entropy change were found to be −ΔS  max   = 9.1 J kg −1  K −1 , 11.9 J kg −1  K −1  and 6.3 J kg −1  K −1  with a field change from 0 T to 5 T for x = 0, 0.1, 0.2 respectively.
