Abstract
The temperature dependences of the thermal conductivity and magnetization of a PrB6 single crystal in magnetic fields of 0–14 T have been measured. An analysis of the data amassed has revealed that, apart from the well-known magnetic phase transitions at T ∼ 7 and ∼4 K, there appears a spontaneous magnetization with a relatively small magnetic moment in PrB6 at temperatures below 20 K, which is initiated by the splitting of the ground state, apparently, due to dynamic structure distortions.
