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 synthesize 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. We find that Pr3TiSb5 exhibits similar magnetic transitions at high field as Ce3TiSb5.
