Abstract
The intermetallic compound Pr1-x-yLaxPbyTe shows a wide spectrum of physical phenomena. Depending on the metallurgical composition as function of x and y, the compound changes its behavior from van Vleck paramagnetism and hyperfine-enhanced nuclear-magnetic order to super- or semiconductivity. In addition, there are remarkable interplay effects between these ground states. In consequence, Pr1-x-yLaxPbyTe may serve as an interesting material for nuclear-spin quantum-computing experiments. In this contribution, we focus on measurements of the magnetic properties performed in high magnetic fields. We present first data of the magnetization of Pr1-yPbyTe taken in pulsed magnetic fields up to 47 T for the compositions y = 0, 50, and 90 %.
