Abstract
We report the resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization and specific heat studies on a single crystal of CePdSb3 which crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal structure. CePdSb3 behaves as a Kondo lattice compound in which Ce moments order antiferromagnetically below 3.1 K, in contrast to the previously published polycrystal data. The magnetic susceptibility is highly anisotropic, reflecting the orthorhombic crystal structure. The magnetization for H∥[001], which corresponds to the easy axis, shows a metamagnetic transition at 1.6 kOe and saturates above 10 kOe, reaching a value of 1.6 μB/Ce. The magnetization for H∥[010] also shows a metamagnetic transition at 11 kOe, while the magnetization H∥ [100] increases linearly as a function of magnetic field, indicating a hard axis.
