Abstract
Abstract Low-temperature physical properties of a novel compound CePd 2 In 4 that crystallizes with its own crystal structure type (space group Pmc 2 1 , Z = 10) were investigated by means of magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, heat capacity, electrical resistivity and magnetoresistivity measurements. The compound orders antiferromagnetically at T N = 2.4 K due to magnetic moments carried by fairly stable Ce 3+ ions. In the ordered state, at T t = 1.1 K, another magnetic phase transition is observed that probably signals a change in the antiferromagnetic arrangement of the Ce magnetic moments. The magnetic structures of CePd 2 In 4 appear quite sensitive to external magnetic field, which easily induces metamagnetic-like transitions in the system. The low-temperature thermodynamic and electrical transport data of CePd 2 In 4 reveal its dense Kondo nature with the characteristic energy scale fairly close to T N .
