Abstract
Magnetic and electrical properties of Nd7Pt3 with the Th7Fe3 type hexagonal structure have been studied on single crystals by measuring magnetization, magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity. Nd7Pt3 possesses a ferromagnetic state below TCâ¯=â¯38â¯K; a canted antiferromagnetic state takes place at Tt2â¯=â¯34â¯K. Another magnetic phase transition has also been observed at Tt1â¯=â¯25â¯K. The magnetization curve along the a- and b-axes at 2â¯K shows anomalous first-order irreversible behavior. The direction of the magnetic moment in the canted state can be tilted from the c-plane. Electrical resistivity measurement results show metallic property; three anomalies were observed at Tt1, Tt2 and TC, respectively.
