The orthorhombic Tb{sub 3}Co compound exhibits both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic behavior below the critical temperature T{sub t} = 72 K as evidenced by metamagnetic transitions along the a- and b-axes and ferromagnetic magnetization process along the c-axis. In the temperature interval between T{sub t} and the Neel temperature T{sub N} = 82 field-induced transitions along all three axes are observed. This behavior results from the complex noncomplanar magnetic structure of Tb{sub 3}Co. The metamagnetic transitions are accompanied by a significant magnetoresistance effect. The Tb{sub 3}Co single crystal has permanent magnet properties along the c-axis with the highest energy up to 140 Mg Oe at T < 4.2 K.
