Abstract
RCrSb3 crystallizes in a quasi two dimensional structure with RSb and CrSb2 layers stacked along a axis. This system displays rich magnetic structure due to complex magnetic interaction between 3d moments of Cr and 4f moments of rare earth ion. In this work, we present a comparative study on the heat capacity of R(La, Ce, Pr, Nd)CrSb3 which exemplifies the interplay between two magnetic species (Cr3+ and R3+ ions) leading to a complex magnetic phase diagram of RCrSb3 system. The nature of ordering of the rare earth ion is quite different in all the compounds. Moreover,the ferromagnetic ordering temperature TC of Cr spins decreases with the decrease of the size of the rare earth ion.
