Abstract
We have investigated a single crystal of the tetragonal intermetallic compound NdPd5Al2 by means of magnetization, specific heat and magnetoresistivity measurements. NdPd5Al2 orders antiferromagnetically below 1.3 K and exhibits a distinct magnetocrystalline anisotropy with the c-axis as the easy axis of magnetization. Magnetic phase diagram constructed on the basis of heat capacity and magnetization measurements is characterized by two different low-temperature phases and first-order phase transition in the zero field.
