Abstract

A.c. and d.c. magnetic susceptibility measurements have been carried out on the intermetallic compound Dy 2Cr 2C 3. The results show Curie-Weiss behavior in the paramagnetic region with positive paramagnetic Curie temperature followed by a antiferro-metamagnetic transition at low temperature. The thermal dependence of d.c. magnetic susceptibility in the FC and ZFC modes shows magnetic hysteresis. The peak observed in frequency dependence a.c. susceptibility measurements shifts from 23.5 K (for 8 Hz) to 31 K (for 666 Hz) which appears to be novel in rare earth intermetallic systems. The a.c. resistivity measurements show a strong spin disorder scattering at low temperature.
