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 T1=2.5K, T2=12.2K and TN=23.8K. 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 14T along the b -axis exhibits a multistep metamagnetic transition. The metamagnetic step is described by n/20×7.7μB/f.u.n/20×7.7μB/f.u. (n: integer).
