Abstract
We performed dc-magnetization and ac-susceptibility measurements to clarify how the magnetic properties of CeAgSb2, which shows ferromagnetic order along the c-axis below 9.6 K, evolve with the application of a transverse magnetic field (Hab). The Curie temperature (TC) is suppressed to zero by the application of Hab, and the ac-susceptibility measured along the c-axis \(\chi '_{c}\) under Hab continuously shows a critical-divergence-like anomaly at TC, indicating the presence of a field-induced ferromagnetic quantum critical point in this compound. On the other hand, the magnitude of \(\chi '_{c}\) at TC rapidly decreases with increasing Hab up to around 0.5 T. This result suggests that the magnetic properties around TC rapidly change with Hab in the relatively lower Hab range.
