Synthesis and properties of new U3TiSb5-type compounds

ORAL

Abstract

Recently it was found that single crystals of Ce3TiSb5 exhibit a complex temperature/magnetic-field phase diagram with several metamagnetic transitions and a possible re-entrant disordered phase. In this presentation I will discuss our efforts to synthesis and characterize other members of the “3-1-5” family of compounds. In particular, we synthesized single crystal of both Ce3ZrSb5 and Pr3TiSb5 using Sn flux growths. We find that Pr3TiSb5 exhibits similar magnetic transitions at high field as Ce3TiSb5.
