Title: Antiferromagnetic Kondo lattice in the layered compound CePd 1 - x Bi 2 and comparison to the superconductor LaPd 1 - x Bi 2

Abstract

ZrCuSi2-type CePd1-xBi2 crystals were obtained from excess Bi flux. Magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that CePd1-xBi2 is a highly anisotropic antiferromagnet with transition temperature at 6 K, and a magnetic-field-induced metamagnetic transition at 5 T. An enhanced Sommerfeld coefficient of γ of 0.199 J-mol-Ce-1K-2 obtained from specific heat measurements suggests a moderate Kondo effect in CePd1-xBi2. In addition to the antiferromagnetic peak the resistivity curve shows a shoulder-like behavior which could be attributed to the presence of Kondo effect and crystal-electric-field effects in this compound. Magnetoresistance and Hall effect measurements suggest an interplay between Kondo and crystal-electric-field effects which reconstructs the Fermi surface topology of CePd1-xBi2 around 75 K. Electronic structure calculations reveal the Pd vacancies are important to the magnetic structure and enhance the crystal-electric-field effects which quench the orbital moment of Ce at low temperatures.
