The Ce_mM_nIn_3m+2n (m=1,2;n=0,1) family has been one of the most studied families of heavy fermion compounds. This family has revealed many interesting low-temperature physics phenomena, like quantum critical points, heavy fermion superconductivity, and non-Fermi liquid behavior, when these materials are exposed to pressure, magnetic fields, and/or chemical substitution. In this work, we provide a thorough investigation of the Ce_1-xNd_xIn₃ phase diagram through single crystal synthesis, x-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, and electrical resistivity measurements. Previous electrical resistivity measurements on CeIn₃ reveal a broad maximum, T_max~50 K, which has been associated with the Kondo lattice coherence crossover and/or the crystal electric field depopulation effect as the 4f electrons condense from the high-energy quartet down to the ground state doublet. Our findings show that in the most disordered substitution region, x=0.4–0.5, these features disjoin to reveal two distinct broad humps in electrical resistivity measurements. Magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity data on Ce_1-xNd_xIn₃ also reveal the antiferromagnetic ordering competition between CeIn₃ and NdIn₃, where the T_N of CeIn₃ is linearly suppressed to a critical concentration of x_Nd~0.6. This concentration is slightly lower than what was previously reported in nonmagnetically substituted Ce_1-xLa_xIn₃. Our magnetic susceptibility measurements and subsequent simulations show that in the CeIn₃ antiferromagnetic regime, x_Nd≤0.4, the Nd ions act as free paramagnets. The large magnitude of the associated paramagnetic response then masks the overlapping antiferromagnetic ordering signature of the Ce ions. Overall our study further sheds light on the underlying crystal electric field and Kondo lattice coherence interactions within the Ce_mM_nIn_3m+2n family and could stimulate further studies of these systems via neutron diffraction or under applied pressure.
