Abstract
Magnetic measurements from 1.5 to 300 K on the complete series of Cu3Au-type R Pd3 phases have been made. LaPd3 and LuPd3 are diamagnetic at room temperature. CePd3 shows Pauli-type paramagnetism indicative of a nonmagnetic virtual bound state. PrPd3 and NdPd3 are affected at low temperatures by the presence of the crystal field. The magnetic properties of SmPd3 and EuPd3 are determined by the energy levels of the lowest multiplet. GdPd3 and (possibly) TbPd3 become antiferromagnetic at 7.5 and 2.5 K respectively. DyPd3-ErPd3 obey the Curie law. The magnetic properties of these phases are discussed in relation to crystal field effects and a possible band structure.Keywords
