Abstract

The thermal variation of the specific heat and magnetization curves has been measured in the orthorhombic TbPdSn single crystal. The successive magnetic transitions have been identified at T 1 = 2.5 K , T 2 = 12.2 K and T N = 23.8 K . The magnetic entropy has been evaluated and discussed in the framework of crystal electric field (CEF) analysis performed in the previous work. The CEF energy scheme is presented. The high-field magnetization measurement up to 14 T along the b-axis exhibits a multistep metamagnetic transition. The metamagnetic step is described by n / 20 × 7.7 μ B / f . u . ( n: integer).
