Abstract

Abstract We attempt a quantitative description of a (H-T) magnetic phase diagram of the cubic compound NdIn3. Below TN, this compound presents two spontaneous first-order phase transitions as well as several field induced transitions. Considering both the dipolar and quadrupolar interactions a self-consistent periodic-field model is proposed. Although the metamagnetic magnetization processes at low temperatures are not totally reproduced, the calculations account quantitatively for the spontaneous magnetic phase succession.
