Magnetic and Transport Properties of RCoIn$_5$(R=Pr,Nd) and RCoGa$_5$ (R=Tb-Tm)

ORAL

Abstract

We report on magnetic and transport properties of single crystals of the light rare earth containing series of compounds RCoIn$_5$ (R=Pr,Nd) and heavy rare earth con- taining series RCoGa$_5$ (R=Tb-Tm). All the compounds crystallize in the tetragonal HoCoGa$_5$ crystal structure and are very good metals with small defect scattering at low temperatures. NdCoIn$_5$ and members of the RCoGa$_5$ series with large de Gennes factors order antiferromagnetically.
